Don't drink carbonated sugar water. It's REALLY bad for you. Not just a little bad, not "I'll walk an extra 100 steps" bad for you. Really fucking bad.

What non-water drink isn't bad for you? Plain teas and black coffees?

Serious question. My dentist told me this same thing about soda and offered zero flavored alternatives. Like yeah, I could also eat white rice, broccoli, and chicken every meal and live a long, healthy, miserable life.

My dentist told me most of the issues with soda at least for dental health can be mitigated by rinsing with water afterwards so that the low ph environment that results in enamel decay doesn't last long enough to do serious damage

Isn't that the same idea as using a straw?

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not unless you put it down your throat

[–] FantasmaNaCasca@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Just inject it into your veins.

An IV drip during the meal.

Have you tried water with ice?

[–] akwd169@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Mmm ice flavour, my second favourite after air flavour

Seriously though they said flavoured alts

I've been drinking San Pellegrino ciao sparkling waters, they have like one gram of sugar and still taste sweet. I drink the shit out of these things

If you are drinking that much, just get a carbonator. Sugar drinks are really bad for you but spending money on putting co2 in water and shipping it all over the place is bad for all of us. You'll save money and you can dial in flavors and sweetness really easily yourself.

spending money on put fa's in water

Sorry? PFAS?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I don't even know what I was trying to say there. Edited it to putting co2. Maybe putting flavors? Anyway you get the idea.

Agree. I have a soda stream and it's great. I do buy the syrups occasionally (sugar free) but there are plenty of other ways to add flavor.

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 0 points 1 month ago

Cant buy a soda streamer without supporting pissrael genocide either lol

What else do you suggest I mix by rum and brandy with?

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Why mix brandy at all? Rum is better saved for cooking with.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I just leave it open a little in the fridge for a couple days to let put all that terrible carbonation.
