    I usually don't but I would love to be able to. Can't wait to hear what others say.

    Of course I do! Tea is just flavored water! Now, I don't use that logic for pop or any other beverage. Just coffee, tea, and anytime I use Crystal Light packets in my water.

    I don't since it has caffeine - but I do love it in addition to water!

    I have always heard that if it has caffine in it, you should not count it with your water because of the caffine being a diuretic.

    Hmmmm, I do. I count any fluid towards it, apart from milk and lattes.
