    flavored sparkling water is just diet soda. It's liquid- no diuretics usually - why wouldn't it count?

    Chances are unless you eat nothing but high sodium dried foods or run marathons in the sun you're getting almost all the water you need from the food you eat.

    This 8 glasses thing is silly, and looks more so the more we learn about kidney function.

    Life was better for me when I started only drinking when I'm thirsty instead of forcing myself to drink excess quantities of water...
