If your intent is to "hydrate", nothing will do so as well as water. Nothing.
That's why I enjoy a 1000 mls. of normal saline over ice with a twist of lime. Shaken, not stirred.Yep sortof. "hydration" is meant to keep water in the system which shibumiseeker is getting at by discussing the electrolytes. When I have a dehydrated patient, I don't give them water in the IV, I give them saline (0.9% sodium chloride). You need an equal balance of the electrolytes or your kidneys will try to make up the difference, or your brain will make you eat salty things. Eat a balanced diet, plenty of water, and be reasonable.
Day 26 for me... quit cold turkey. I could drink about 4-7 cans of soda a day. First week was a bad week. After making it through that I have been falling asleep way easier and sleeping better as well.And a day and a half later you are all getting no caffeine headaches that hurt like hammered hell.
2 or 3 cups of black coffee in the AM. That is it for intentional Caffeine intake for me. Water/Gatorade/Orange Juice the rest of the day. Whole milk with meals.Day 26 for me... quit cold turkey.

Here in the next few days I'll allow myself a drink every couple days but no more then one every 2-3 days.
pickle juice followed by water. works great. also found my new favorite gatorade flavor- lime cucumber.
Only tea I drink is Arnold Palmer Zero... has absolutely nothing in it, which essentially makes it equivalent to water, yeah?
Until I use it as a mixer and turn it into a John Daly.
dill. start with a little, and cut it with water if you have to.Dill Pickle juice or Sweet Pickle juice?
Interesting.What hydrates my body better, iced tea or water?
I like to add a quarter wedge of lemon to each bottle of water (24oz.) Is that good/bad to do with all of the 3-4 bottles I drink a day?
I have a friend that is trying to get me to try this stuff : National Spokesperson
