Why is plain water best? Does water lose all the "bestiness" when something is added to it?
Not picking on you - I really do wonder about this since I've heard it a lot but never understood why it would be better than coffee, fruit infused water, etc., etc.7 -
The only thing I don't count as H20 consumption is alocohol. I drink mostly water but I count my morning coffee. I just account for the cream I put in it.1

I honestly don't know why or how someone could think that if a drink has calories it suddenly couldn't be considered hydrating.
Pretty much all liquids are hydrating, even some with alcohol, such as beer but only to a certain amount. Water, coffee, tea, juice, soda, caffeinated beverages, beverages with calories, beverages with carbonation, broths. Heck fruit are hydrating, some vegetables, soups, and so much more.3 -

This stuff has 25mg of sodium per serving. It has nothing else that I normally count in it though. It's really good water though.
I enjoy the Walmart 1 liter clear water that has flavors, I'll have to check out the label, I have never paid attention.

I feel like any flavorings I add to water makes it feel less refreshing and I end up still really thirsty with the other stuff.0
