does tea count?

I am tracking my water intake just as water so far. But I am wondering if drinking tea counts as part of the 8 glasses?
Opinions?

    All liquid counts. So do many fruits and vegetables, its just harder to track. I don't bother with the 8 glasses because the body needs the equivalent of 8 glasses in total - not 8 glasses on top of everything else! Keep a bottle of water handy and sip regularly, or have a glass before every meal, or whatever works for you. But don't get hung up on it.

    Yes, all fluids count except alcoholic ones.

    You could count it since it is basically still water, but i wouldn't, personally. I would feel like i'm cheating myself out of a serving of water. Just me though.
