And before anyone says anything like "Oh, well they get most of their hydration from their diet!" Or WHATEVER THE FUCK!!! SO DO I!?! Why does a mango count as water but my Coke Zero doesn't??? My doctor has me all the way fucked up, guys.

Your Coke Zero does count towards your hydration. And any doctor who denies that is just trying to shove in their own biases. On a completely scientific level, Coke is mostly water soooo lol

Actually it is genuinely a myth that comes from a misunderstood suggestion in the 1940s from the U.S. Food and Nutrition Board. It said you needed 2.5 litres of fluid, but never specified water.

The majority of your fluids should be coming from food products, but I’m fairly sure coke definitely counts as fluid; it’s just not as good for you. Even then, the number itself is fairly arbitrary too. Your body will tell you when you’re hydrated by making you no longer be thirsty.
