What do you count as water?

I'm curious what types of drinks everyone counts toward the daily water intake. Flor myself, I count water (with or without crystal light, etc.), milk, coffee, tea and my powerade zeroes. I haven't been counting any of the occasional diet sodas or slim-fast type products I may drink.
Does anyone count anything additional or purposely exclude any of the above?
Thanks,
Mike

plain and simple, just water. I don't count coffee, or anything. If I have the occasional crystal light or something like that I count it as water, but I don't really like them, very powdery.
In short, water is what I log as water0 -
Just water....
FYI, I wouldn't count coffee or tea (unless it is herbal tea) as water because they are actually dehydrating and will require you to need additional water.0 -

I only count plain water toward my daily water consumption totals. All other beverages are logged with my meals and snacks. Keep in mind that flavored beverages also contain sodium and sometimes added vitamins and minerals. Get in the habit of logging everything into your food diary, so that you can get an accurate picture of your nutritional profile.
Edited to add:
Crystal Light does have calories, so that needs to be tracked as part of the food log. I guess sparkling water would also count as water.0 -

My rule of thumb is, if it has calories, it's logged as food. If not, I log it as water. So usually all I log as water is water and herbal teas (I don't add any sugar to them).0
