I was wondering if the water I use, for example, to make my tea at night or the water I mix with some sugar free drink mix count in my suggested 8 cups of water a day???
I know you need to drink 8 cups fo PURE water a day ... so do those cups count in it ???

    Short answer - Yes.

    It doesn't matter where the water comes from as it's still water. Even water in your food will count towards it.

    BTW: There is no real medical proof that consuming 8 cups of water per day has any health benefits other than ensuring you are properly hydrated. Just drink your water sensibly and keep hydrated throughout the day and you should be fine.
