Hi guys-
I'm sure this has been asked but I couldn't find it my search. Its freezing in my office and I keep drinking hot green tea to stay warm. Sometimes caffinated, sometimes decaf. Can this count towards my water for the day? I never know what counts as water and what doesn't. Thank you!!

Was asking this same question myself! After searching I found a thread here about the same thing:

Seems like many people do count it towards their water intake0 -
Why wouldn't something that's 99.99999% water count as water?0

Of course it counts, but of course... don't drink too much. Too much of anything is bad, including water!0

I assumed it probably would, but I wanted to double check. Better to be safe than sorry or whatever0 -
Green tea is great.
Water intake should be 1/2oz per lb of body weight a day.
So if someone weighed 200lbs their daily water intake should be 100oz. This includes green tea.0 -
Cool, I didn't know that!
Definitely need to be drinking more water.
When I had a terrible diet, I would drink so much pop every day and then another 2 litres of water on top of that. I was constantly thirsty (my blood sugar was probably high from all the pop and I ate tons of salty chips too). Now that I'm eating way better, I'm barely thirsty and its such a struggle to get my intake of water! I've taken to drinking from my water bottle at red lights to/from work just to make sure I get enough haha.0
