most types off coffe and tea is mildly dehydrating, so no green tea is not a water replacment, but by all means its a good addition.

I drink a good amount of green tea along with my water and I have never experienced cramps working out so I'd say go for it, it's great for your body

Nothing is better than water.
Green tea has a natural amount of caffeine in it so if you drink alot its just like drinking a few sodas.

Except Soda is loaded with Sugar, HFCS, preservatives and food coloring. And usually the amount of caffeine in tea isn't near that of a mountain dew or red bull, or redline.

oh i agree. i was just saying if all he drank was green tea. most people still put sugar in their green tea too.

None the less plain water is the best fluid you can drink.

No, you still need to drink plenty of water. But by all means drink black/green/white tea in addition.
