Zero Calorie Beverages

I drink multiple zero calorie beverages a day, 3-4 cups of brewed herbal tea and sometimes a diet coke or something similar, but I don't log it.

Do you log zero calorie beverages? If you do, what's the benefit to it?

    I drink the 0 calorie sparkling water - every so often and coffee, but I log ONLY my water - plain old water.
    That's just me though so I make sure I'm getting at least 8 glasses of water a day, if I have one of those other bevvies, than it's a bonus but I don't log it.

    I log them IN the food section because they often have sodium in them. I also like to track my intake because I do not like to drink them too much. I do NOT log them as water down below though. :)

    Unless they have other things (like sodium), I don't either.

    I do, not necessarily for the sake of calories but to be more aware of what I can improve on - such as if I was to drink a few cans of zero cal pop a day (hardly drink any pop at all anymore, used to drink a few cans a week in high school a little over 6 years ago)

    I only log water as my water intake. I guess that sodium argument is a good reason to track the diet coke when I have it because I do track sodium.
