Hydrated is drinking enough water.is it only plain water?any drink except plain water is included or not?

Q: hydrated is drinking enough water.is it only plain water?any drink except plain water is included or not?

: You statement should be put like this: Well hydrated is drinking FLUID well. In medicine regarding the volume the term fluid intake is a more accurate than water intake so all types of fluid are counted. In some cases, we truly mean just pure water (H2O) so we call it drinking water.
