toward a goal

Hola, I'm having some trouble with this phrase - I hope someone can help.

- Try to drink at least 6 eight ounce glasses of fluids (preferably water) a day.
- Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics and do not count towards this goal and can lead to dehydration.

I'm having trouble translating "count towards this goal" - this is what I came up with so far:

ØLa cafeína y el alcohol son diuréticos y pueden causar deshidratación, no cuentan hacia la meta de la cantidad de líquidos que debe tomar.

Let me know what you guys think.
Gracias!!!!!!!!
Stephanie

My 5 cents:
La cafeína y el alcohol son diuréticos que pueden llevar a la deshidratación, así que no cuentan para tal fin.

Estoy contigo para lo de "no contar", me parece la mejor solución.

Hi, this is my version.
- Try to drink at least 6 eight ounce glasses of fluids (preferably water) a day.
- Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics and do not count towards this goal and can lead to dehydration.

La cafeína y el alcohol no sirven para tal fin ya que son diuréticos y pueden causar desidratación.
