I'll never understand people who drink water-alternatives due to the claim that plain water is too boring.

To me it's not too boring it's my body actually rejects it.
Water alternatives?
Like flavored water?
Tea? Coffee? Tonic water? Coconut?
Yes but as an exclusive replacement to water. Like only drinking flavored sparkling water.
That's insane
Ah ok… i know a person who only drinks "happy thoughts infused" moon water… does that count?
A lot are addicted to sugar.
Is that when you place crystals in water at night under the moon and then drink it? Somehow that seems more sane to me than the sparkling water thing. Still weird though.
Yeah tbh. If the alternative chosen is soda 😬
The lack of strong flavor seems to mess with their brain or something. Anyway, I had a grandparent who never drank water and somehow lived into his 90s without any major issues. That really messes with me because I’m a heavy water drinker and have constant health issues, lol
"I can't handle water, I need energy drinks." 🤦♂️🫃
That's probably it. But what did your grandfather drink instead of water?
Milk, coffee and tons of soda of any kind.
Man that's messing with me too now
Unfortunately my alternative is Redbull and Monster 💩
Yeah but you have to store the water in a glass jug with the word happiness on it first and it’s gotta be a full moon…
It's like the 100 year old that smoked every day. Outliers exist in a small fraction. It might not be wise betting on being an outlier though.
I dunno man, sometimes I feel like some people are just too lucky with their genes or whatever it may be. If I followed his diet I'd probably be dead by now.
The resulting state of health: 
I knew a guy who said this and squirted mio in al his water.
He killed himself.
True story.
That escalated quickly.
I think it's true to some extent. Some people are just really robust, or are eating something so good that it outweighs the bad.
I really hope that there's more to the story than "drinking mio causes self-inflicted death."
Not all stories have lessons
Water is my favourite drink.
Nothing else quenches my thirst.
Maybe try mixing the energy drinks with water.
But then it wouldn't be sparkling anymore
Tell me more 😂
I know a few people who drink 2L+ of flavoured milk each day instead of water.
That stuff has just as much sugar as soda
What happens if I do new moon or first quarter. Which crystals? 😂😂
JK I drink boring water and I like it room temp.
I’ll ask the next time I see her … lol
What's 'mio'?
Few, very

I don't life coffe, and I rarely drink tea, so whenever I went to people's houses for fika, and they didn't have a hot drink I liked, they would start looking through their cabinets to see of they had some "saft" (fruit/berry flavored concentrate that mixes with water). After a few times of this, I started telling them, "It's fine, I actually really like plain water! Can I have water please?" And I was telling the truth!
I also don't like sparkling water, cause it comes across as bitter to me, and I had a really bad experience with it once as a teen while feeling nauseous....😒😅
Flavored sparkling water is okay, I guess.
Sparkling water, just drink sparkling water
In America, we have shit water. The pipes aren’t great either. So your best option is to strip down the water of everything through an RO filter. But now this water is devoid of necessary minerals and nutrients. So you have to add things back. Water in this country is fake and gay.
Not water, but I know a lady that makes her whole family go and open their wallets towards the full moon to encourage "money luck" 🌝
She sounds really successful 🤭
One must respect a system that appears to be working. The moon remains undefeated 🙄
Mystics are experts at denying reality oftentimes
Yep
Reality does seem to keep cooperating, which complicates matters.
Oh, good for them! The mystical people I've known seem to be in stark denial of circumstance
Literally no good options unless you make an effort to filter/re-mineralize or buy good water.
And if you buy good water it’s most likely in a plastic container
Back in my day, we called mystics “wise ones”—not delusional rejecters of reality. Kids these days toss around terms like “denying reality” without understanding what they’re talking about. Mystics aren’t rejecting the world; they’re probing its deeper layers. The Quora thread rightly notes that mysticism is faith-based, but so is gravity—until you’ve seen it work. Science measures vibrations; mystics *feel* the music behind them. That’s not denial—it’s a different lens.
The Madinamerica article warns against “denying” unusual beliefs, which is exactly what your claim does. If someone experiences a transcendent truth, dismissing it as “denial” is the real arrogance. The Facebook group’s take on mysticism as “direct experience of ultimate reality” isn’t nonsense—it’s a centuries-old tradition. You think modernity’s the only path to truth? Back in the day, we knew wisdom came from within, not just from lab coats.
Sure, some mystics might clutch at straws, but that’s not the point. The real issue is your knee-jerk skepticism. Kids these days lack the patience to grapple with mysteries. True reality isn’t just what’s measurable—it’s what’s felt. Don’t confuse curiosity with denial.

Why do I feel like I'm encountering bots or alts right and left lately? Are you either of those?
Funny how nobody’s talking about the *actual* cause of death in the Mio case. The Facebook post linking acute pancreatitis to "staying up late" and "stress" feels like a half-baked distraction. Where’s the peer-reviewed research? The Hansard debate on Bill C-59? The Pulitzer winner’s fishing boat mystery? Seems like the narrative’s being curated. Could there be a corporate cover-up? Or maybe the real story’s buried under "low_quality_content" warnings. Follow the money—who benefits from framing this as a simple "drinking causes death" story?

Like flavored sparkly water ? Crazy, nothing beats a glass of really cold water in a hot day
Maybe you should try special filter to remove flouride ?
Yeah, exactly. I too am a water enjooyer.
