The water recommendation was originally from all sources, including food, so I personally don't worry too much about hitting whatever goal. However, it can often be useful to work on just drinking more water than you currently do. I found it helps to keep a water bottle around, so you can make it a sort of mindless action to take a swig every so often. Then, you can set a goal to fill it up at least twice a day, for example. With a 1 liter water bottle, that's a little over halfway to that 3.7l goal.

That said, coffee and tea do count, because they're both nearly entirely water. However, be sure to include any cream or caloric sweetener you use in your counts if you count/track calories/macros. (The water bottle trick can also help break any caloric coffee/tea or excess caffeine habit you want to break.)

I'm pretty sure you've miscalculated.... I'm Canadian and there are just over 15 &1/2 cups of water in 3.7 litres. That's an awful lot of water.....

I read an adult male should drink 3.7 litres of water a day which works out for me 10 glasses of water a day, which seems quite a lot to me. Taking into consideration the tea and coffee I drink should I deduct the water I use for the tea and coffee?

Views on the amount of water are all over the board. In my case the 3.7 litres/1 gallon daily works well. I do not count coffee or tea in my case.
