Why is there not a separate category for drinks?

Are we supposed to list these under snacks?

If I add coke or orange squash to my snacks list, do I also add them to the water list? Or just put them in water as there is virtually no calories anyway?

    I put them with whatever meal I drink them with, or under snacks if it's between meals. I don't add it to water, that's for just water.

    You can add another category onto what you log, I added a new category to mine which was drinks so I could list drinks separately.

    Put them wherever you want. The categories are just suggestions. You can list everything you eat a day under snacks or any other category, it won't make any difference. It's the totals that count.

    Just create a drink category. I also do one for supplements.

    I added another category called "Misc Drinks (Not Water)". I put everything liquid there EXCEPT for actual water or flavored water.

    You can make one. I think it's under settings and diary.

    I do time slots (i.e 6am-9am, 9am-12pm etc) and then my final catagory is snacks/drinks/other (even though it is only ever populated with drinks)
