    I was under the impression that if you had flavored water or water additives you shouldn't count that as water as it's filled with artificial sweeteners. Heck, beer is 97% water but I don't count that :P

    If you have a cup of coffee and add sugar and milk to it, it's still coffee, no? I count flavoured water and diet pop as water, although I rarely have pop now. Most of the time I only have regular water too, but adding a bit of flavour to it doesn't make it something other than what it is.

    Reading through this thread, with many comments from the women that their skin looks or feels better to them reminded me of something one of my chemistry professors, many decades ago, said to the class. He was not happy with all the marketing of moisturizing products to women. He said that long term these products are detrimental to the natural water transport system in the body at the cellular level. He said that if you start rubbing this stuff on your skin at age 40 or younger to prevent wrinkles you would need to take a soaking bath in it by the time your were 65 to get the same effect. His advice to all the young women in the class(18 to 20 years old) if you young healthy looking skin when you are 65 years old drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin from the inside. He added that you will look and feel better and you will have more money in your pocket because you didn't waste it on moisturizing products.

    You lost all credibility if you count diet soda as water.

    Here is a secret, nearly all drinks start out as water. Tea, soda, beer, Koolaid, coffee....all water, then stuff is added to make it something else. So by your theory, everything could be counted as water.
