Does tea count as water?

Question

You know how your supposed to drink 64 oz of water per day? Well does tea count as water (if you brew it yourself)?

Answer 1

Of course tea counts as water.  What do you make it with?  WATER!  The news lately said that you need your fluids, but they don't have to be plain water.  The thing about tea is that it can act as a diuretic and make you lose fluids.  As long as you drink plenty of fluids, they don't have to be plain water, although plain water will rehydrate you (say, after exercise) faster.

Answer 2

Definitely not, for the same reason as coffee doesn't. Both of them are diuretics (believe it or not, tea is worse)--they extract water from your system so that outgo exceeds income. Result: you won't be taking and holding water, so your organs won' be flushed back to health.

Answer 3

yes..tea counts as a liquid

Answer 4

No.  Water counts as water...not tea, or coffee, or anything else.

8 - - 8oz ???? who came up with that number

just more stress nonsense,, unless your working hard drink as you like and what you like

Answer 6

No it doesn't, cause tea has caffeine, which drains the body of water.
