So I've been trying to drink more water but it's really hard for me so I've been trying to ger creative. And I've been wondering if carbonated water "counts" as water or does the carbonation just dehydrate you? Perhaps I should switch to Crystal Light or such instead?

Advice??

    Carbonated water is fine, and counts as water intake, but try not to over-do it. Too much extra carbon dioxide can be rough on your kidneys.

    Carbonated water can be counted as plain water. It doesn't have a dehydrating effect.

    I've always viewed flavored carbonated water as glorified diet soda. Since I don't count diet soda in my water intake, I wouldn't count carbonated soda. Just my opinion :)
