Physicians will tell you that only pure water counts for the water intake.

I've read differently:

Water is water. Your body doesn't care whether that H2O molecule comes from food, milk, tea, coffee, sports drinks, soda, or straight water (though the sugar in some drinks isn't good for you if consumed in excess, but that doesn't mean they don't keep you hydrated). If your body needed pure water to survive, I'd have been dead a long time ago.

The body can use all it needs to survive, it even can convert protein to carbo, doesn't mean it is optimal or the healthiest option. The most "contamination" in the water you intake the more you'll need to clean it.

Like in my conversation with the sport physician he demanded me to discount every liquid that wasn't pure water from my accounting, if not it would go to about 6L a day instead of 4. At least from his POV for my hypotiroidism threatment one of the aspects was that I needed to take 4L of pure water every day.
