I mean, you didn't include anything like tea, so it's kinda just easy. Fizzy, calorie-pumped, nutritionless, cheap-dopamine-providing, overpriced and overpackaged water is pretty low hanging fruit.
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

I kinda always knew sheâd end up my ex girlfriend, and that shit was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Donât speak, I know just what youâre thinking. It didnât happen. Well. Youâre right. It didnât.
Oh, most Assur-edly. But seriously though, that depends on what you mean by "the earliest-known". Which specific cultures are you referring to? Sumerian was the de facto lingua franca (for written language) until superseded by Assyrian, and in either case, warfare between city-states and proto-states was full on raging basically since the beginning until, well, now. So they were quite aware. The Mesopotamian delta is only so big, you've got the two main trading and shipping arteries running through the desert, Eufrat and Tigris, making it super lush and pretty, so generally those were the areas fought over (though back then even the desert wasn't quite as desert-y as it is today, and there's plenty of ruins in the middle of bumfuck sandland, though arguably they wouldn't have settled there without a good source of water. The Assyrians built some sick-ass aqueducts, too, but let's not talk about them because they were not very nice people).
I think you skipped the âawareâ. If so, then I must argue that I donât know enough about the topic, and since I donât know then no body else knows and if they say they do itâs a conspiracy! So there.
I've been reducing my sugar intake and recently fully quit caffeine. I was never big on sodas but I recently had one at a work lunch because it was the only option available and it was shocking how overly sweet it seemed
I have tried both and both taste like a lethal dose of liquid sugar. Among the American drinks only Fanta doesn't outright taste like diabetes, it only has that as an aftertaste.
There's common misconseption that higher acid in your stomach causes acid reflux, however it is actually the oposite. There's sphincter in your esophagus which contracts when there's enough acidity and opens when there's lack of.
So when you are having bad reflux, try increasing your stomach acid by either chewing gum, eating sour or eating something bitter. Avoid drinking large amount of water after heavy meals, since you are diluting acid. Also less smoking and drinking helps (quitting smoking really helped for me.
Those over the counter tablets containing carbonate salts actually make it even worse, since they neutralize stomach acid, when you want to increase it. Protein pump inhibitors, such as ranitidine block production of stomach acid completely, however it really messes up with your protein intake. Common pain killers, such as ibuprofen, aspirin mess with yiur stomach too
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?
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
I have a CO2 canister with a diy bottle cap. I use regular coke bottles for carbonating the water. It tastes good, but it is still destructive for your teeth.
I've got a plain older countertop device with mini CO2 cartridges (with a cheap exchange program) for now. I am redoing my living room and study soon and will get a kegarator soon so I have it on tap.
I don't need the flavors infused. But if I'm feeling fancy I'll add a slice of lime or lemon, or both (usually when I need to use the rest of one after making dinner). Although it is my understanding this is certainly possible, adding flavours/syrups or what not.
It's pretty normal. I'm american, it's common here with a little bit of flavor, but the unflavored or very light flavored ones are my favorite. In Europe a lot of times if you ordered water at a restaurant you would have to order "still water" or you would get sparkling water.
Edit: in the German speaking countries and countries around Germany anyway
Years ago when I visited Germany (a hotel in Heidelberg), there happened to be another American in front of me at the hotel. He asked for water. The young woman behind the counter, knowing he was American from his language and accent, said: "Would you like any gasoline in your water?"
He was very confused, and I couldn't contain myself, bursting out in laughter. I stepped in and explained, she meant to say "gas" and was asking if he wanted still water or bubbly water. She knew most Americans didn't drink carbonated water, at least then -- a few years later brands like La Croix would sweep the country's soccer moms all over the States.
We Americans think it's funny but then I remember that these people know multiple languages and of course someone is going to get a word wrong here and there.
I also remember the four of us at dinner getting served waters and the waitress was saying "please" as she sat down each one on the coaster on the table. Which my understanding is that she was translating 'bitte' to English and that word has many meanings, one of them meaning please but can be used when your hand something over, if I'm not mistaken.
But im sure there are people out there that would put grappa as their s-tier liquor, ultimately that was what I was trying to say, that by putting liquor as s-tier everyone can put their favorite in that slot.
I have had grappa that sent me to another planet for the depth of flavor. I have never been able to actually find a bottle of good grappa and have long since given up. But I know that good grappa does exist
Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they're expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.
Countless times i've been offered drinks that "taste good", or that "you can barely taste the alcohol" and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there's a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.
No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you've already taken a dump on it.
I can definitely see how you would feel that way, but for me, there's definitely a whole world of depth of flavor brought out via fermentation, which includes alcoholic beverages. I don't personally care for the alcohol content usually, but the flavor is truly unique and can be special.
Iâd 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.
Possibly depends a bit how you make it. If you make extremely strong black tea and then dump tons of sugar in it itâs definitely less refreshing than unsweetened mint tea for example. Tea, like most things in life, is a spectrum.
I mostly agree, but I'm not drinking any sort of tea after a 10k. Water/tea/coffee is 95% of what I drink. Whole milk is 3%, and boba tea is another 1%. I'm ashamed to say I drink soda in social settings.
Iâd argue though, after a 10K, youâre not drinking for any other reason than hydration and in such cases water is always the best. But Iâd argue thatâs an edge case unless youâre a professional athlete or live in a very hot environment
I also drink because I enjoy the taste. Some people drink coffee or energy drinks to stay awake. One can drink alcohol to get drunk. There are many reasons. Yes, hydration is almost always a present and desired effect but not always the reason.
Tea is an A if you make it yourself and don't add any sugar (except maybe a slice of lemon). I do cold brew a lot in the warmer months, really hits the spot and doesn't taste like drinking corn syrup.
Iâd say tea is an S tier because itâs so versatile. You can have a mild herbal tea thatâs barely different to water over intense, naturally sweet fruit teas to ice tea so sweet it puts Lipton to shame. The choice is yours. Water is just water. Still very good, definitely A but itâs still just waterâŚ
I'd push water down to C or D level because I'm not sure what they put in this shit where I live, and I'd push low-alcoholic beer to S tier. It's how they did it in the old days and it carried us all into the future.
Iâd argue on that but only because the quality of tap water can vary so immensely⌠Almost nothing beats good tap water but Iâve had tap water that was so godawful Iâd rather drink almost anything else if thereâs no way to filter it
I'll give you that caveat. My brother lives in the rural town where we grew up in the butthole of Oklahoma, and his water is so hard that they justified spending thousands of dollars on a whole home water softening system. My in laws pump their own water and it's foul. I think they need to be filtering it. I think there's something in their groundwater.
As for the water in the urban and suburban parts of Oklahoma City, it's pretty hard to find truly bad tap water.
Iâm from Germany and I know no one that pumps their own water so I never had to deal with outright rancid water but the water at my mumâs place is hard enough you can hold it without glass (slight exaggeration). They donât have a home softening system but just a small filter canâŚ
If Iâm really thirsty I manage to drink maybe one and a half glasses before the taste hitsâŚ
I'm going to disagree. Water, alone, is about a B+, maybe an A-. If you've ever been working out really intensely, to the point where you feel nauseous and could drink a liter of water and still be desperately thirsty, then you'll understand that you also need to get electrolytes, things like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The mineral content in plain water is too low for that; a sugar-free (preferably unsweetened) sports drink is going to be better for you than water alone.
Unless you have a balanced diet that anticipates your workouts and gives you the proper amount of sodium, potassium and magnesium. Sports drinks are just selling you those at a big premium. Stick with water. Eat a banana.
There's approximately 0% of people that actually need Gatorade/sports drinks, unless they were stranded without water for a prolonged period.
It was developed to help football players in Florida stay hydrated for the duration of a game. The conditions there are 90%+ humidity, and 80+ degrees while wearing full pads. Then being in that state for about 5 or so hours without eating.
No one really is exposed to that level of perspiration except athletes.
Water drinkers are so smug. So proud to be so boring that they drink only something that tastes of nothing. Unless you're absolutely parched and/or it's scorching outside, literally anything else that actually has a flavor is better.

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
MintyAnt@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
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!
https://tasteofartisan.com/how-to-make-carbonated-water/
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 have a CO2 canister with a diy bottle cap. I use regular coke bottles for carbonating the water. It tastes good, but it is still destructive for your teeth.
RalphFurley@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I've got a plain older countertop device with mini CO2 cartridges (with a cheap exchange program) for now. I am redoing my living room and study soon and will get a kegarator soon so I have it on tap.
I don't need the flavors infused. But if I'm feeling fancy I'll add a slice of lime or lemon, or both (usually when I need to use the rest of one after making dinner). Although it is my understanding this is certainly possible, adding flavours/syrups or what not.

It's pretty normal. I'm american, it's common here with a little bit of flavor, but the unflavored or very light flavored ones are my favorite. In Europe a lot of times if you ordered water at a restaurant you would have to order "still water" or you would get sparkling water.
Edit: in the German speaking countries and countries around Germany anyway
RalphFurley@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Years ago when I visited Germany (a hotel in Heidelberg), there happened to be another American in front of me at the hotel. He asked for water. The young woman behind the counter, knowing he was American from his language and accent, said: "Would you like any gasoline in your water?"
He was very confused, and I couldn't contain myself, bursting out in laughter. I stepped in and explained, she meant to say "gas" and was asking if he wanted still water or bubbly water. She knew most Americans didn't drink carbonated water, at least then -- a few years later brands like La Croix would sweep the country's soccer moms all over the States.
We Americans think it's funny but then I remember that these people know multiple languages and of course someone is going to get a word wrong here and there.
I also remember the four of us at dinner getting served waters and the waitress was saying "please" as she sat down each one on the coaster on the table. Which my understanding is that she was translating 'bitte' to English and that word has many meanings, one of them meaning please but can be used when your hand something over, if I'm not mistaken.

Jorgelino@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
Here's my own controversial take:
Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they're expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.
Countless times i've been offered drinks that "taste good", or that "you can barely taste the alcohol" and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there's a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.
No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you've already taken a dump on it.
Cowbee@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
I can definitely see how you would feel that way, but for me, there's definitely a whole world of depth of flavor brought out via fermentation, which includes alcoholic beverages. I don't personally care for the alcohol content usually, but the flavor is truly unique and can be special.

I'll give you that caveat. My brother lives in the rural town where we grew up in the butthole of Oklahoma, and his water is so hard that they justified spending thousands of dollars on a whole home water softening system. My in laws pump their own water and it's foul. I think they need to be filtering it. I think there's something in their groundwater.
As for the water in the urban and suburban parts of Oklahoma City, it's pretty hard to find truly bad tap water.
accideath@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Iâm from Germany and I know no one that pumps their own water so I never had to deal with outright rancid water but the water at my mumâs place is hard enough you can hold it without glass (slight exaggeration). They donât have a home softening system but just a small filter canâŚ

I'm going to disagree. Water, alone, is about a B+, maybe an A-. If you've ever been working out really intensely, to the point where you feel nauseous and could drink a liter of water and still be desperately thirsty, then you'll understand that you also need to get electrolytes, things like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The mineral content in plain water is too low for that; a sugar-free (preferably unsweetened) sports drink is going to be better for you than water alone.

Unless you have a balanced diet that anticipates your workouts and gives you the proper amount of sodium, potassium and magnesium. Sports drinks are just selling you those at a big premium. Stick with water. Eat a banana.

There's approximately 0% of people that actually need Gatorade/sports drinks, unless they were stranded without water for a prolonged period.
It was developed to help football players in Florida stay hydrated for the duration of a game. The conditions there are 90%+ humidity, and 80+ degrees while wearing full pads. Then being in that state for about 5 or so hours without eating.
