Crystal light/Tea - Count towards H20 intake?
Hey bros,
I get tired of just drinking water. Can unsweetened tea or crystal light, etc. be considered towards you water intake for the day. I drink about 1 gallon of water by itself, but looking for something different to add to water intake. Let me know your thoughts.
peace,
ttgb

Not at all? Does tea/Cyrstal light hurt you in anyway? Kidneys, etc.
peace,

I drink unsweetened tea or crystal light all the time bro. I don't count it as water but I drink it just to get a change. MMMMM love that crystal light.

I would say No, I used to drink diet soda and kool aid and count it as fluid intake, I did this very early on, novice hood. I now try to get 1 1/2 gallons of pure H2O down every day. Its up to 3 the last week before a show. I still drink Kool Aid and Soda with the water up until the last 4 days. But I'm always sure to get in my prescribed H2O

well i am up to three gallons a day, and without crystal light i would go insane, i have been using half the amount, 1 crystal light container in a gallon instead of a half gallon and it really helps.

no no no no no. sorry for being so brash. as was explained so many time by my biology teacher: water is water - anything added changes it so that its absorption and properties change - thus altering the very benefits you are drinking water for - purity

1 gallon is a realistic goal, I think that your doing well drinking one gallon. Alot of my BB bros settle for one gallon a day, anymore is a plus

Caffine dehydrates you, just like alcohol. Water-Drink it, Love it, Live it.
