Do caffeinated drinks like Coca‑Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero count towards my recommended daily water intake?

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends that if you live in the UK you should drink six to eight glasses of fluid per day. Staying hydrated is vital for every aspect of everyday life.

Sparkling drinks, both regular and low calorie, contain between 85 and 99 per cent water, which means they can help quench thirst and count towards your recommended daily fluid intake.

We offer a range of drinks with and without calories that contribute to your daily liquid requirement, including Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Dr Pepper Zero. When you choose a drink containing calories, don’t forget that all calories count towards your guideline daily amount – no matter what food or drink they come from.
