Water is the main component of any and every beverage

EVERY drink is water!

• Soda is less water and some sugar mixture
• Juice is less water and some squished fruit
• Beer is less water and some cooked hops
• Tea is less water and some leaf infusion
• Coffee is less water and some roasted bean-juice
• A martini is even less water with some alcohol and old squished fruit

So DON'T TELL ME WATER ISN'T ALLOWED! Damn, this is making me irrationally angry. Maybe I need some water...

Tea. Iced or hot, black or mint, dash of milk or honey. So many combinations.

Dr. Pepper because I'm here for a fun time not a long time.

coffee for sure

A 0.00000001 % NaCl brine solution

Sadly all "drinks" are made primarily from water. Otherwise they were called "chews". You living in the US of A by any chance? Unrelated question.

All normal drinks are just flavored water, so I guess steering fluid?

cyanide. you take my water you take my life

Tea. Have about 5 cups of tea a day already.

Coconut water fresh from a refrigerated coconut. I would only drink that, even if I didn't have to, if it was cheap enough.

Milk

I'll be the strongest mf in the skeleton war

Heavy water.

BRAWNDO!

Tea

Beer, obviously.

Whiskey on the rocks.

I can suck the ice cubes during the day, and drink the whiskey at night.

Why can't people stop being pedants and just answer in the spirit of OP's question 😭

Anyway, I'd pick bubble tea I think. There's a lot of variety and mileage I can get.

Brawndo. It's got what I crave.

All liquid involves water.

I don't love tea but yeah it would be tea. Iced green tea lemonade, black tea with milk. If literally only one then iced black tea with lemonade, let it get diluted.

tea, Earl Grey, hot

Tea assuming I'm allowed any variant of it, lot of different ways you can have tea to make it taste different, iced/hot probably being the most important in this scenario

If water isn't allowed, what does one drink? Everything we drink has water in it.

Water is in every beverage, this question is unanswerable.

Even without trying to be pedantic, what about Vitamin Water? Cuz my answer would genuinely be tropical citrus vitamin water. I could also do Mountain Dew, which btw contains water.

So the question becomes based on the exclusion of water without additives, which begs the question, why not lemon water then, and what amount of additives qualifies it as 'not water' anymore? If I use lemon extract and sugar does that count as lemonade? If so, why isn't water with lemon extract considered unsweetened lemonade?

If “drinks that contain water” are not allowed, then nothing. I will die of thirst.

I can drink H₂O₂ for the rest of my life.

No water allowed that essentially excludes all beverage. If i could have anything else, i'd go with at least two kilos of fruit and berries per day, preferably melon, cucumber, oranges, cherries, raspberry (any berry actually...), plume, pear, apricot. And the occasional fish.

Pure ethanol. If I'm gonna die of dehydration I might as well have fun doing it.

Coffee, black. I’m a regular joe and I like my joe regular.

I be ded.
