Question about water intake

I'm sure this has been asked several times but... Do you count coffee, unsweetened tea and calorie free drinks toward your water intake or separately? I drink both throughout the day but wasn't sure how it should be counted. Thanks!

    I don't ever think about the coffee. It has caffeine so I wouldn't count it. I drink tons of water every day so I don't log mine. I have a really big cup I carry with me all day and fill it up several times. It holds 32oz I think.

    I would count coffe and teas since it is water based. I drink three cups of green tea a day and count it all. Also, keep in mind that veggies and fruits have a lot of water also...that's just a bonus!

    I count green tea whenever I drink it

    OK great! Thanks for the input! I will probably count my coffee and green tea but not my Coke Zero which is fine because I only have 1 a day. :)
