    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

    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.

      Have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water or rainwater? And only pure grain alcohol? Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation – fluoridation of water? Do you realise that fluoridation is the most monstrously-conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?

    I don’t disagree that water is king. But putting coke and pepsi in the same tier must be some kind of crime.

          O Holy One, Pepsiman, who blesses our teeth with holes shaped in your great symbol’s image.

          Grant us the strength to drive these CokeCrusaders from our lands, led by the dastardly KredeSeraf.

          May our rivers once again flow ripe with the chemical by-products of your majestic factories.

          Dulcis. Immutabilis. Pepsi.

    I will put the various teas at atleast A tier, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, Kashmiri kahwa et al. Yerba mate A/B tier, coffee B tier.

    Coffee is just lower because it gives jitters, dehydrates, and is a diuretic. And I loved coffee all my life. No more, green tea is better.

    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.

      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
