I don't drink much water, but drink a few coffees and Diet Cokes everyday. Do these count as water?

    A lot of sites say as long as it's fluids it's okay, I try to do half water and half "others" :)

    I don't count anything but water as water, but I know many people count other drinks as long as they have no calories AND no caffeine.

    Well coffee and tea is just water with flavor.. I count them in my water. as for anything else, I would say no, in my opinion.

    I have heard that they are actually negative amounts because they are diuretics and you have to cancel them out with more water. :( this sucks. I love coffee and pop!
