NBR: Would you count sugar-free kool-aid towards your

8 glasses of water per day?  For an 8 ounce serving there are 5 calories.  I am trying to drink more and more water each day, and regular water is fine, but I thought about drinking sugar-free kool-aid too.  So what do you think?

    I always wondered that. And wondered if I was hurting myself by counting it. Because I am a Crystal Light Peach tea FANATIC. But since yesterday, I only drank it for dinner. Im having serious withdrawals lol I guess it's better than soda.

    When I did Weight Watchers you could count a sugar free and caffeine free drink as a water, but only for 1/2 of your daily servings.

    Ahh ok so an 8 oz sugar free drink would actually only count as 4 oz?  I gotcha!  Thanks!

    The WW rule is that you can do that with up to 4 of the 8 glasses you should drink.

    I read somewhere that if it has under 30 calories, no alcohol or caffeine, it can count.  But I have no idea where I read that!
