    I’d fight the shit out of you but I am afraid you are just too well hydrated and I stand no chance.

    Water is so far above everything else that EVERY SINGLE SODA is forced to add around 80% water.

    This comment was made by the water gang.

      I actually think water percentage would be in the high 90s. 80% water sounds like it would be more like syrup consistency.

    Drinking water gives me acid reflux, always has. Which is weird because fanta is a lot more acidic and doesn’t do that.

      Does it burn? If I drink cold water, I tend to get esophageal spasms. My heart to my jaw gets this tension and pain, but it doesn’t burn. It tends to be worse with normal sipping amounts rather than chugging like a hamster. It can happen with beer but for whatever reason, soda never causes it for me. Probably something about the drink rate or usually having soda at room temp. Not trying to tell you how your body works, just offering up info no one I know knows about.

        Yes it burns at the plexus and throat. I find it less so when I filter the (bottled) water in a brita filter (cartridged filters) but then it tastes funny. So I actually never drink water.

        What is even weirder if I drink those water bottle with a slight hint of flavor, no reflux. Might be a mental problem?

        I don’t experience what you have.

      Really? How? Keg and c02? Do you add anything, like citric acid? Im a home brewer, I’ve got a kegerator set up with 3 kegs. I want to do one with carbonated water some time

        Soda stream is just a CO2 bottle on cold water. It carbonates after an hour or so, or if you shake it.

        A better option imo is to buy a big tank of C02 and connect it to a big tank of cold water which in turn has a tap. You probably have all that!

        I personally found the taste of plain cold carbonated water… actually good on its own. Otherwise you can add flavor like a canned seltzer would have.

    I’d personally place tea on S and water on A. Tea is far too versatile. Water is great but tea hydrates just as much and has the potential to be much much more.

    Water is the goat but have you ever jad a soda pop made botanically? Modern soda is just synth flavors and sugar, but it used to be flavored with actual spices. It’s harder to find, but if you can find a truly classic soda brand it absolutely slaps modern corn syrup shit out of the universe

    Imagine tasting cola, except it actually has a deep flavor palette and isn’t cloyingly sweetened subsidized corn liquid
