Question about water consumption and logging

If I drink hot tea, do I log that as water intake? And when it says "8 cups" recommended, does it mean each "cup" is literally one cup (8oz) or does it mean one standard tall cup of water?

    A cup is 8 oz or 250 ml. Any liquid counts.

    Just make sure to stay hydrated. If your pee runs clear, you're fine.

    Please don't over think this.

    When your pee is clear, you're good.

    Keep it that way...

    "If it's yellow, it's not mellow. If it's clear, have no fear."

    Not my quote, I'm not that clever but a nice little ditty to pass on.

    SMH...I do believe in measurements 1 Cup = 1 CUP

    Pending the tea you are drinking, note your urine as others have stated.

    I was told any beverage other than alcohol - although, I think drinks with caffeine may also be questionable, what do others think about caffeine??

    I'm pretty sure WW says you can count coffee as "water".

    Well the site suggest's 8 cups of water a day, and I have been drinking 6-11 glasses (each glass is 16-20oz) and my pee is not clear...
