I'm in a similar boat. If I'm not peeing at all really, I try to drink up. If I'm not clear, I try to drink up. I usually end up diluting my Gatorade a good amount, because I find that it doesn't really quench my thirst, gives me wicked drymouth and gives me that "heavy feeling" in my stomach. I try to stick to water during the workout, and then a few glasses of milk when I get home.

Soda is not a replacement for water either, and its a diuretic, too. It will also rot your teeth, and make you fat. I rarely drink soda.....a lot of water, tea, and beer....
If you are sweating a lot alternate between gatorade (or equivalent) and water. Need to keep your electrolytes up. Kinda gay but I also drink Vitamin Water since it has a lot of good stuff in it for you, and isn't as heavy on the sugar as Gatorade is.
I don't really keep track of how much I drink but I just try to keep my piss from getting yellow/orange.
