I am trying to drink 8 glasses or more of water each day. I am wondering if after the first 5 or 6 glasses if one could drink calorie free/fat free lemon ade or ice tea and still have that count as water. Does anyone have an anwer? Lolly

    I used to do weight watchers and 3 glasses can be crystal light, decaf tea, diet/decaf soda. but only 3 glasses. Hope that helps.

    What about coffee? I know it's bad for you, but I gotta have if. Not that if matters, I'm pretty good with the water intake, just curious.

    Actually, new research states that caffeine counts as full liquid as the amount of caffeine is not enough to encourage diuretic properties. Our kidneys are amazing at regulating our hydration status and though I am personally opposed to caffeine...go ahead drink up and count it.
