No...........soda has chemicals that take away your water.....so if you drink soda...you will have to drink extra/more water

No, since the recommendation is 8 glasses of WATER not soda.
Plus sodas are usually diuretic so 8 glasses of (say) coke is probably something like -3 glasses of water.
You get water from food and other liquids but you're supposed to get some pure water.

Because I am allergic to water (weird, huh?), I asked the very same question to a few physicians and to three dietitians.
This is their answer, because I wanted to be sure I was safe:
-I have the choice of either:
Mineral water (very expensive for every day. I mean "mineral" and NOT spring or filtered water)
-or-
Soda... (the healthiest you could find. Meaning without caffeine, calories and sugars... )
So, yes, soda counts as the 8 glasses of water everyday.
Now, if you're NOT allergic to water as I am, I very much recommend plain, delicious, cool W-A-T-E-R.
-(how much I wish I could drink it every time I wanted it..! Take advantage of your best choice: Water.)-

Yes it does, but for every glass of soda you drink you must drink two of water (if you're on a diet).

Nope. Water is used to hydrate your body, whereas the caffeine and sugar in the soda will dehydrate you.

No it wouldn't as Soda has sugar in it.But your 8 glasses can be tea,coffee, mineral water, beer, etc. So long as you try and drink as much as you can, but don't overdrink, it's bad for you.

Why do people assume soda has sugar and caffeine? It doesn't have to. Soda does have water in it, so it counts.
