Water questions

I know it is recommended to have 8 glasses of water a day. But sometimes I crave that fizz from soda. I found flavored waters with the fizz. The labels says no cal, sugar, etc. Does it count towards my 8 glasses or no?

    absolutely! it's really (8) cups of 'liquids', not water. coffee, tea, juice, water, etc are all included!

    I buy fizzy flavored water. Great replacement for fizzy drinks I used to crave!

    I absolutly agree that it counts but, I have to say I love my "sodastream" !
    I get the fizz and it is just water no extra salt or sugar.
    I like to add a bit of lemon or lime concentrate.

    I strongly disagree. It says "water" not "liquids". You have to track the coffee and juice and milk since they have calories. And nothing is as good for you as water.
