Kool-aid!
 

Ok, this is a really random question, but it's something I need to know! :p

I know it's really important to drink lots of water a day, and that you can get your daily water from sources other than directly drinking water... for example eating an apple that usually has water in it. (I think.. hehehe :confused: )

Anyway.. does drinking Koolaid, or even lemonade count as drinking water? Technically it's water, but it just has some sugar and flavoring mixed in it?

Obviously kool-aid has a lot of sugar added to it and sugar dehydrates you...so I don't think it's of the best quality of water, however I guess it's better than nothing.

If you have to drink Kool-Aid, make it with Splenda or Equal. That way there's way less sugar, and it's a lot lower in calories, too. :)

Equal...ugh. Aspertame baaadddd. :( I think it's best to just take the sugar.

THanks for the info ladies!

I was debating with my friend whether or not it would 'count' as water ;)
