And no “water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber” goofs. Water isn’t allowed.

      True, but at the same time you know exactly what OP means with this question.

        I don’t think OP knows what they mean with this question. The top two ‘serious’ answers are coffee and tea, which is just “hot water with shit mixed in”. Anything you drink is water with shit mixed in. Any answer that isn’t “water with shit mixed in” means you die, either within months or minutes. Most answers that are “water with shit mixed in” would still kill you fairly quickly if that’s all you ever drank.

          The point of OP’s question is clear. He’s referring to a drink that has sensory qualities that are clearly distinct from plain water. Water with a spritz of lemon still reads as water. As a loose guideline this is like anything you’d order as “water with x” or “x water”, like cucumber water. Coffee clearly doesn’t fit into that category, it has sensory qualities that are very different than water with x in it.

                If I ask anyone for a glass of water, they’re going to get me the same thing because they know what I mean. No one is going to get me a glass of orange juice or tea or 7up, even though that’s technically also water.

                You know what OP means. You’re being ridiculous.

                  so then do you agree that they wouldn’t bring you lemon water or cucumber water? clearly you didn’t ask for those. but OP explicitly calls those out as ‘no goofs’. so where’s the line?

            Dude. Yes they have some small diuretic effects but tea and coffee are overwhelmingly hydrating. It’s just not a good idea to mainline that much caffeine for heart reasons.

    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…

        Whole milk is just water with some emulgated fat in it. Fresh squeezed juice is just water with some biomass in it.

        I suppose we need to switch to sunflower oil or something. It is digestible, has no water in it, but isnt exactly healthy.

    How different from water does it have to be? Just not in the title?

    Because both something like sparkling water and juice are basically water.

    But I already pretty much only drink sparkling water so I’ll pick that one if it’s allowed (if the spirit of your question is “no flat water”).
