Most nutrition textbooks do class water as a macronutrient, because the body needs it in large amounts, even though it supplies no calories. Definitions vary, which is why you will find sources saying the opposite.

Drinking 64 oz of water a day is a reasonable target for many people, but it is a convention, not a scientific rule. Total water needs are closer to 91 oz for women and 125 oz for men from all food and drinks combined, and thirst plus pale urine are better guides than any fixed number.

A daily sugar-sweetened soda habit is consistently associated with weight gain, higher type 2 diabetes risk, and tooth enamel erosion. An occasional soda is fine; it is the everyday habit that adds up. Diet soda avoids the sugar but has mixed research of its own.

Pure water has a neutral pH of 7.0. Distilled water drifts slightly acidic (around 5.8) as it absorbs carbon dioxide, lemon water sits around 2 to 3, and tap water typically falls between 6.5 and 8.5. None of it meaningfully changes your body's pH.
