Getting enough water in...

We need to drink a certain amount of water a day, I know. My question is this: is the daily intake guideline for strictly mineral water or does it count when I use water for tea or soup. For example my soup is a litre of water alone plus a few mugs of non caffeine fruit tea on top of just still water. Does this all count toward the daily intake?

    All water intake even in vegetables count. All goes towards hydration

    Yes. Even coffee counts. I still track my water intake, but the whole "64 oz/day" thing isn't really necessary. If your pee is a faint yellow, that means you're sufficiently hydrated.

    I have to drink enough now to keep my weedle as clear as possible (1.5-2.5 gal), but I'm also on several things that require excess hydration, consume a stupid amount of protein, and might be partially insane.

    Props for using "weedle" in an MFP post! I have no comment on the level of your sanity. :D

    I similarly love the use of weedle. Gave me a well needed giggle.
