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

    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.
