4-5L isn't all that much IMO. I have at least 4L a day and that's not hard at all. Especially when I go through at least a L during my workout alone.

i kinda disagree with this.
soft drinks: most americans mix their soft drinks with PLENTY of ice. this ice melts into the drink and counters the dehydration potential.
coffee: most people always have cofee with some water on the side. even if they dont: coffee does have water content in it.
energy drinks: i hate them so i have nothing substantial to add here.

Every time I've been in Texas, no one was drinking water with anything. Maybe you're just in the water drinking mecca of the state or something.
As far as Americans go, I never see people drinking water with their coffee or sodas. And yes, coffee has water in it, but again, the caffeine in it can cause dehydration through diuretic properties.
Fuck, I don't even see the point in arguing this. It's water for fuck's sake. Drink it or don't. I don't care. I keep tabs on mine, as I think eveyone should. But apparently I'm the only one around here that does.
