Is there any LOGIC or BIOLOGY behind forcing yourself to drink water to the exclusion of other beverages? I mean, I LOVE water. I crave it in the morning, when I'm working, after exercise. I'm not against water and if I could have only two beverages in my life it would be water and milk.
But let's face it. Sometimes water just sucks. I get nausious thinking about it after about 2 litre's worth. I do, however, like to drink diet soda, Crystal Light, Green Tea, etc. at those times.
So I mean, if I mix up a jug of Crystal Ligh, and one LITTLE packet goes into a pitcher with several glasses' worth of water, why all of a sudden shouldn't that count toward my water consumption? Why doesn't the water in green tea count? Is there a logic or biological reason behind it, or is it more in an effort to prevent people from consuming ONLY chemical-laden pops and drinks?
I mean, it makes sense that orange juice doesn't count as water, and milk doesn't count as water. But if a drink I make up (tea, crystal light) is 99% water, I think it should count, shouldn't it?
