Why does common advice stipulate that you must consume pure water for hydration? Won’t things with any amount of water in them hydrate you, proportional to the water content?

It has more to do with anticipating that people will look at a bottle of soda and think, mostly water this’ll do. Which isn’t wrong but you’re taking in a lot of bad stuff to get water. In reality pure water isn’t a very good hydration source. With a little electrolyte to help you body hold on to it you just piss a lot of it way meaning you need to drink awkward amounts to get hydrated.
