Remember they were telling us you had to drink 2 litres of water per day to ensure perfect health?
And remember they said it had to be WATER. Not beer or whisky or tea or coffee? I do remember them saying this. I remember a lotta things...
Well now they are saying it's OK to include the water that is in tea and coffee as part of your 2 litres. So they've changed their minds, but I bet they will never admit it!
They still won't let you include beer or whisky though....

Water is water is water, no matter if it's in tea, coffee or any kind of alcoholic drink. -
well, alcohol is a diuretic so if you were to drink 2 litres of beer you would lose more water than you ingested...kind of counter-productive?

Plus you might lose your liver as well -
good point!

Yes, technically speaking you can consume the water in any form you wished, but like SiuilAruin points out, the other forms have consequences above and beyond and may not create the net benefit you're looking for by drinking the water in the first place.
Better to drink the water just plain, or flavored with citrus.
