If I drink 8oz of hot lemon water can I count that as part of my water intake during the day.

    WHy wouldn't you? It's still water. You're even calling it water. Adding lemon doesn't negate it being water. Don't overthink it, it's ok.

    Absolutely!! I drink lemon juice and stevia in my water bottles and count that as water intake as well. It's the only way I can get ALOT of water in me lol.
    FYI a water bottle is 160z which equals 2 GLASSES OF WATER I found out... so each water bottle counts as 2 SERVINGS OF WATER....

    If I've been 'misinformed' someone let me know..

    Yes, why wouldn't it? I generally count any non-caffienated, non-alcoholic clear drink towards my water intake, since those things are, in fact, mostly water. Some days there would be no way for me to get through a full 8 glasses of pure water, because I get over-hydrated and end up needing electrolytes to actually feel like the fluid is doing anything.

    "Water bottle" is not a standard measurement. Water bottles come in a variety of sizes. They usually have the amount on them, or if a reusable water bottle, on the package or stamped on the bottom.

    My water bottle holds a litre. It really depends on the water bottle.
