    Is there a differance between straight water and other liquids like gatorade etc.

    does the Gatorade still count toward daily water intake?

    But water filtered through ground coffee beans is not the same as water since the caffeine is a diuretic.

    No, water through other means like Gatorade does not count toward your water intake. Water intake recommended amounts are calculated as water only.

    Sooo you would you still say that if some bought the Bulk gatorade powder, took a dry scoop of it with no water, 5 seconds later drank 25 oz of water, it would count as Water BUT IF you mixed the 2(25oz water and the scoop of powder) together it wouldn't count to your water intake? im not trying to be offensive but that make no sense at all. Water is water whether its mixed or not.

    When they give a recommended water intake, that is the intake amount for water only. Coffee, gatorade, tea, none of those count towards it even though they are water based. You guys are idiots. Look it up and get back with me.

    im pretty sure hes right. i was watching a tv show and they said for every 8 oz cup of coffee you drink you should be drinking a extra 8 oz of water, im guessing because its diuretic even tho its water based it doesn't count toward your water intake

    I don't even understand how you can still come up with this answer after reading the post about dry scoop + water. He couldn't have given it to you any clearer. Now, please explain to me why gatorade wouldn't count as part of the recommended daily water intake.

    Thats exactly why bbrock269's post doesnt make any sense. according to what hes saying as soon as you add crystal light, Xtend, Gratorade powder, ect. to the water it all the sudden it MAGICALLY "doesnt count" toward your water intake; so if you drink a gallon of water with crystal light in it, it wont count for your water intake; its not true and makes no sense at all.

    common sense would agree with us...but who knows, maybe the crystal light magically transforms the water into some other liquid, i'm no chemist or biologist so i don't know

    I will make this as simple as possible. Randomhero is correct. Beverages with caffeine are diuretics and dehydrate you, defeating the entire purpose of drinking the water. In addition to keeping you hydrated, waters other primary function is to filter out the kidneys and other organs, as well as keep the metabolism up. When you are trying to keep you organs filtered out, you wouldn't use Gatorade or another sports drink that is full of sugar and all kinds of other crap. This defeats the purpose of having something pure like water running through your system. After playing sports or working out, what satisfies your thirst (dehydration) more, water or Gatorade? Sugar dehydrates you as well. If you went the entire day drinking nothing but sports drinks, coffee, sodas with no water, you would be dehydrated. Use your head people.

    water counts if its not mixxed with a diuretic. so coffee has a diuretic so that basically cancels out the water content in it. Gatorade, however, isnt a diuretic so that would count towards water intake. Same with things like crystal light.

    Also keep in mind that a lot of these drinks include sodium as well. Sodium is one of the reasons why we are drinking water, to help flush it out. I am not knocking any of these drinks, just explaining that recommended water intake is for pure water only. My god people.

    Heading to the gym guys... but first I'm dumping 1.5 scoops of SPMax into my mouth and then washing it down with 12 ounces of water so I don't break the water and make it useless by mixing it with the powder!

    Water is complicated!

    the crystal light packets have 0 sodium, 0 caffeine and 0 sugar (at least the ones i use)...what about those?

    I would say yes. Water is water. If you add lemon to your water...it's still water.
    The only thing I would add is that if you are adding a scoop of Tang and two tablespoons of sugar, that you should count it in your caloric intake as well (obviously)

    Your not drinking Soy Sauce man. Gatorade with 32oz or water doesn't have NEARLY enough sodium content per ounce to come even close to dehydrating you; or it would be a danger to drink to all high-intensity athletes of all ages who are in a dehydrated state. Sodium is a electrolyte. as well as chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

    If water is drank in the middle of a forest and no one sees it, does it still count as water?

    Do you have any idea of the importance of sodium and other electrolytes to an athlete? Or there roles in the body?

    it counts cause your drinking "water"

    but

    lets say you're worried that your not getting enough water. if one day you ate a ton of salty foods. you'd compensate by drinking extra water compared to a day when you didn't have such a salty rich diet.

    in this sense you shouldn't count it as an effective hydrating source. relative of course to water which lacks the dehydrating qualities of sugar and table salt.
