Help! Water question

This might have been covered somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Does green tea count in a water count or should you only count "pure" unadulterated water in your counts? I don't really care for plain water and am looking for a way to get it in without drinking it straight. It almost makes me sick to my stomach to drink a couple of glasses of water without anything in it. Comments? Suggestions?

    I would count it. Others may disagree though.

    pure water is best due to the load on the kidneys if there is anything to filter BUT it's fluid. don't stress over it.

    Green tea is why all the Japanese are fat. Definitely don't count it as water.

    Water makes you skinny fat. So don't bother logging it

    I don't log water at all. The whole 8 cups per day thing is a myth anyway. Just make sure you're staying hydrated (urine should be pale) and don't worry about it.

    Let me help you out. Click on the search button, and search "what counts as water?" If you want a less specific search you can just type "green tea" or "water".
