So, I used to drink soda all the time, now I only drink water for obvious reasons.

Problem is, water has no fucking flavor and I miss the flavor of soda so bad.

Does anyone have any good alternatives to soda that are good for you and actually have flavor? Does such a thing exist?

Pic related, it's water.

>> No.6753522

Tea

Brewed and straight, not bought and loaded with sugar

Plus less caffeine than coffee, if you're the kind of person it affects heavily

>> No.6753523

Sparkling water, flavored seltzer? Maybe those liquid squirt things, but those invariably have tons of sugar, sweeteners, or caffeine, which ruins the point of drinking water.

You could try drinking juice sometimes, op

I don't see the problem with drinking plain drinks personally, never was a fan of sweet ones, and I tend to drink a lot of water so replacing that with sweet stuff hypothetically would be ridiculous. Well I suggest getting over it. Other then that lemon/ lime water is really nice and refreshing! Also unsweetened or lightly sweetened iced tea/ tea. A splash of milk in your tea/ coffee won't make you obese either.

You could use those as much better applications than throwing it in fucking water which is just stupid

Also if you can't get sparkling water where you live, try one of these.

Try different brand of sparkling waters. Go for brands with really high carbonation. That'll give you the most kick when you drink it, which I suspect is what you are missing more than you do the flavor.

What kind of water are you drinking? It's not supposed to have flavor. It's water.

>> No.6754298

Buy soda water then mix with maybe ten percent of your favorite (non diet) fruit juice. Then you won't be taking in any artificial sweeteners and you'll still get the fizz you like.

I use a very small squirt of grenadine and a pinch of tang to flavor an entire two liter bottle of carbonated water. It's cheap and healthy.
