  1. No liquid doesn't really count towards your daily intake, as long as it's not milkshake or something stupid like that. Plus waters good for you.


  2. The best flavor you can add to water is Hawaii Punch. It's sugar free and is delicious. You can find it at walmart. $1.00 a box where I live.    

  3. As long as you arent washing down potato chips with that vitamin water, than you should be good.

    As always, make sure to get at least 20-30 minutes a day of some type of excercise, avoid drinking pop or cocktails, and you shouldnt gain weight.

    If you want to, protein shakes in lieu of vitamin water.  

  4. 3 -4 litres of flavoured water, in addition to whatever other fluids you are drinking per day, is probably not good for you!  You are reaching the point where you need to be considering the ongoing effects of water storage on your heart, and of the effect of flushing various trace elements and salts from your body.  I'd suggest that unless you are in a very hot climate you should cut down to just a couple of litres per day, but in a hot climate get advice on salt replacement (don't just add table salt to your meals its a bit more complex than that).

    Regards weight gain: You are currently taking in 450 - 600 calories per day from these drinks, much of which I would guess is in the form of simple sugars which are only good for putting on fat or instant (nearly) energy. You don't say why you want to put on weight so I can't really say much more.

  5. Well plain water is better for you obviously.

    But getting water whatever way you can is important.

    However you should try to find a flavored water without calories because the added carbs (sugar) could cause weight gain.
