does it still count if I put a powder mix in it like Crystal light or Gatorade powder? Just making sure I am not drinking in vain

Although water found in mixed drinks and teas kinda "count" as water, you still should drink as much plain water as possible. Sugars, electrolytes, caffeine, etc all affect how our bodies absorb water.

Yes it still counts. Be careful with that Gatorade tho, theres alot of sodium in that and it will raise your blood pressure and make you sick.
Also, if you drink water while you eat your meals, you can drink more without thinking about it then.

Yep that counts. Even Jello and concentrate juice counts. I hardly ever drink "plain" water because it makes me gag, so I always mix something in it. Just watch out for sugar content.

The water recommendation if for hydration. Adding something to it doesn't negate the water amount you intake but it could affect your body's method of retaining it. Just don't drink EVERY glass of water with something and you should be fine. And stay away from soft-drinks, they are horrible for you.
