You are pretty much describing my daily intake of fluids, except that I have no soda or coffee, just approx. three litres of water and both cold and hot tea, plus a lot of very 'juicy' fruits like watermelon, grapes, and others plus green and other vegetables too. Plus I also take a bunch of vitamins and supplements including protein powder every day, and those are recommended to be followed by water too. But I also lift weights real intensely for an hour or do 30+ minutes of cardiovascular exercise almost every day- either one or the other. If I was just siting at the computer all day, two liters of fluids would more than suffice.
