to everyone who thinks that i actually was wondering if milk was water no i am not that dumb. and since you didnt get it i mean that since i drink alot of milk do i count that toward the amount of water i need to drink in order to stay hydrated
to everyone else thanks for the info
Honestly? I just keep an eye on my pee. Some days I'm thirsty all day and suck water down like a fish. Other days, I don't feel like drinking that much, so I just keep an eye on the color and drink when I feel like it or need to. If it's a pale yellow or close to color-less, you're plenty hydrated. Everyone has a different magic number. You'll find yours.
You collect your pee? are you drinking that for hydration? I'm confused now.
Where did I say I drank my pee? I said I look at the color and drink when I feel like it or need to, not look at the color and drink IT...
It has to be filtered. Otherwise, you're going to end up constantly increasing the concentration of everything you're peeing out. Rookie pee-drinker move.0 -

No, Water is used to rid the body of unhealthy toxins. Water also fills the stomach, doesn't add calories and makes you less hungry. If you drink a glass of water before a meal, your less likely to eat as much. Therefore it's extremely important. If a person has high cholesterol, drinking water is better and reduces the weight in a healthy way. I know, I drank coffee tea and milk all the time but until I started drinking 8 cups of water per day, I didn't start to lose weight.
N=1. No way could any other lifestyle changes have had a simultaneous impact. Good study.0 -

Dear Optimist, Pessimist & Realist,
While you guys were busy argueing about the glass of water, I drank it.
Sincerely the Opportunist!
to OP milk isnt water, I class it as a protein, water is water yes milk itll hydrate you, so will food, a tomato has dam load of h20 in it but I wouldnt class that as a glass of water xx also milk is high in sugars log it as milk.0 -

This topic is making me thirsty! Off to have a glass of water with ice. It's a good thing I don't drink milk or I'd be stuck! (Can I count my glass of water if it has ice in it?)0

Water = Water. Milk = Milk. They are not the same thing, unfortunately.
While I agree that milk (skim) is great protein and very good for you, it cannot be considered the same thing as water.
Coffee and tea are also (to some extent) good for you and keep you full but those also cannot really be considered the same things as water because they dehydrate you. For every cup of coffee or tea you have, try to have an extra cup of water.
I would not say this is necessary for milk because it does not dehydrate you, however I would not count it towards your daily water consumption goal.
But milk is still really good for you and as long as you watch the calories (especially if you're drinking something other than skim), because even at ~80 calories per serving too many glasses can add up fast, then DRINK UP!0 -

That post was meant to be humorous. We need a snark font.0 -
I know it is late, but is this a serious question? Water is water, milk is milk...pretty self explanatory
I posted peer reviewed studies - not opinion. Basically milk can be counted towards your hydration.0 -

The dehydrating impact of caffeinated is negligible. Coffee is hydrating.0 -
I've wondered this also. Basically liquid is liquid. If you have say, 8 glasses of juice I feel that's almost the same as water. Ya know?0

or ... can you count the ice you put in your milk?0 -
Luckily for me, I centrifuge my milk before drinking it and consume the H2O, fat, protein, and carbohydrate solids separately (though in the same sitting). That allows my body to correctly file the molecules, and I get my deserved 7oz of hydrating H20 per cup.0
