If I ask anyone for a glass of water, they’re going to get me the same thing because they know what I mean. No one is going to get me a glass of orange juice or tea or 7up, even though that’s technically also water.
OP is excluding drinks that aren’t regular water, this isn’t complicated.
If you went to a restaurant and asked for water, what would they give you? Probably something from the tap, or a bottle, or a purified pitcher. Maybe mineral water, but that’s as much additive as you’re going to get. It wouldn’t even be sparkling, and they’re certainly not going to give you milk and smugly tell you “well TECHKNIQUELLY its water!” you damn dork. You know what OP means, you’re being ridiculous.
Cucumber water is not what you’d expect when asking for water, yet OP excludes it as being invalid for being equivalent to water. So where is the line?
Tea is absolutely my non-troll answer, but how different is that really from cucumber water in this context?
This is not true. Coffee is a mild diuretic, but the amount of water you consume along with it is way way more than the amount of water that the caffeine induces you to pee out.
Dude. Yes they have some small diuretic effects but tea and coffee are overwhelmingly hydrating. It’s just not a good idea to mainline that much caffeine for heart reasons.

They obviously wouldn’t, they’d just bring tap water or bottled water or something. What are you even talking about.

It sounds like you agree, though.

I’m curious how far you can take this. Can you drink only espressos and still get hydrated?
Quick someone call Bear Grylls or someone.

Then i don’t understand your argument. There’s nothing stopping you from drinking as much coffee as you need to get your water

Sure, added that note in an edit. There’s no answer here that doesn’t result in your early death.
