If you flavor your water, do you count it as your water for the day, or another beverage on top of your water. Some days, I just want the taste of tea, so I take a 32 oz fountain drink cup and fill it with 1/2 iced tea, 1/2 water and a sweet 'n low. I was wondering, do I still need another 64 oz of water for the day, or does this count?

Also like lemon wedges with sweet 'n low and water - count as a drink or as part of my water?

thanks

I count tea towards my H2O total.

I do not count coffee or soda as water consumption though.

If it's really diluted tea, I'd count it as water. If you're drinking a more concentrated tea or anything that contains significant caffiene, I wouldn't, since caffiene is dehydrating.

If it's essentially water anyway, with just a little bit of added sweetner, then yeah, I'd count it as water. Coffee, tea and other beverages I wouldn't count towards my water intake.
