Ironically, when you drink more water instead of tea, coffee or soda, your kidneys adjust and you actually DON'T go more than before after the adjustment period. That is a myth. As for joints, read the book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water". It is an eye-opener. We are 70% water and need replenishment all day long and tea (unless it is herb tea), coffee and especially soda do NOT count toward your water intake.
