Elemental mercury.
You'll drink this until the end of your life. Works the same with molten iron though.

A friend had to read a paper about what people called water vs. how much water made up the substance. So like pond water has less water than tea, we call one water one tea. Truly thrilling research.

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.
I think OP knows exactly what they mean, I think if you asked a five year old theyβd know what they mean.
Yet for some reason, some people are completely missing the point of a very simple question which boils down to βif you couldnβt drink regular water, what would you have insteadββ¦

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.

A 0.00000001 % NaCl brine solution
That might be more water than most water.
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?
Coconut water fresh from a refrigerated coconut. I would only drink that, even if I didn't have to, if it was cheap enough.

cyanide. you take my water you take my life
Why can't people stop being pedants and just answer in the spirit of OP's question π
Anyway, I'd pick bubble tea I think. There's a lot of variety and mileage I can get.
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.

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.

If water isn't allowed, what does one drink? Everything we drink has water in it.
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
Pure ethanol. If I'm gonna die of dehydration I might as well have fun doing it.
I be ded.
Coffee, black. Iβm a regular joe and I like my joe regular.
Boob sweat
If βdrinks that contain waterβ are not allowed, then nothing. I will die of thirst.
OK, well I guess if water isn't allowed at all then I'll have to go with the Dehydrated Water canister from Space Quest 1
