If you're going to add koolaid or crystal light, I'd up the water intake a even a little bit more, but should still count. And I'd shoot for 2 gallons anyway, if I were you

not much...
1 gal, along with other fluids in food and other beverages is plenty to keep ya hydrated. 2 gal will make things a bit easier on your kidneys (they can handle (excrete) about a gal every 4 hours), and you'll actually hold less water. You'll see the diff. in the morning (most do), when your body's water homeostatisi mechanisms (mostly hormones) have over shot the mark (like a thermostat that cools to 70? even when you've set it to 72?). Also, why should the body retain water when there is plenty (2 gal / day)?...

3 gallons wasn't a stretch, I figure I usually drink about 2.5 anyway! Today 2 is just about right, but I screwed up and grabbed the wrong water for my first gallon (spring instead of distilled - doh!)

I believe it has to do with dissolved minerals... distilled water has nothing but pure H2O.
