    This is such a stupid question and point of confusion but I'll ask anyways.

    My office just moved a few weeks ago into temporary WeWork space while a new office is built out. They have free iced green tea here all day, which I'm now drinking all day long and probably never filling up my water bottle.

    So... since it's primarily water, and the recommendations per day are X liters of water... does drinking tea all day still suffice for getting that amount of water?

    • Water requirements are just about acknowledging thirst and always having something on hand to quench it.

    • i more meant booze or espresso or filthy-strong tea where it comes to diuretics. Point being, enjoy drinking.

    • I'm afraid that they put shit into these composite drinks like sugar substitute... which leads straight to diabetes, also what Continuity saidsted
    • I've read it's nearly impossible to overconsume green tea and that as far as we know health benefits continue to go up the more you consume.nb
    • But if it has any other ingredients than pure green tea, you would want to regulate your consumption.nb
    • That's great nb because I'm averaging a couple gallons of it each day. :Dmg33
