It’s never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don’t want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

tbh water was an acquired taste kind of thing for me, if you love fizzy drinks/pop drinking water can feel alien and take time getting used to
This is true. I had to force myself to develop a tolerance to plain water, but of course I’m really glad I did.
I still can’t stand unsweetened flavored water (including tea*), or especially unsweetened and carbonated. Those are all very bitter to me, and therefore undrinkable - particularly given plain water exists.
*But I do like some tea in my sugar.
Yep, you basically gotta force yourself to drink it. I was this way, then about 12 years ago, I stopped drinking fizzy/sugary drinks and went over to water. Took me a good month + to get used to it, but I literally feel 1000xs better just chugging H2O all day. Plus it taste way better now, and sugar/fizzy drinks are way to sweat for me.
I have a hard time seeing this pov, as someone who likes their fizzy drinks (nay, requires them), but I also chug water frequently for a total of at least 2 litres each day.
It’s not like you need to only choose the one or the other. Some fizzy treats are dehydrating, even, so you kind of need to drink water on top of them.
You can have both! I love my cold water, it’s so refreshing and feels so good to down a 0.5l pint at one go! But I also love my fizzies, I need the stimulation of the fizziness on my tongue and back of mouth, it brings me such joy!
All to say, I find it weird there are so many comments about them being seemingly mutually exclusive.
