And no "water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber" goofs. Water isn't allowed.

I'd say Coke Zero, but technically this is just a "water with some chemicals in it" goof, and therefore not allowed.

Birch sap is my first thought, but I might get tired of the sweet. Some kind of tea then, maybe rooibos. It's sweet or savoury as the occasion demands.

If we're allowing categories, I'd probably go for smoothies. There's enough variety in them that I wouldn't get bored and it's got a good amount of water in it so I won't die.

Pedialite. I know some prefer Liquid IV, but I like that I can get Pedialite anywhere and it’s relatively cheap. I give it to my kids instead of juice. They also have popsicles which is great on those super hot days.

Pedialyte popsicles are also the best hangover cure when you can't even hold down water

Cranberry juice. It has antioxidants!

Are we assuming the drink magically has no calories or other negative effects?

I'd choose white wine if it doesn't get me drunk (and as long as it still tastes good and not shitty like alcohol free wine. And also as long as there's no social repercussions from drinking wine all day.)

If the drink keeps all it's normal properties then I'd choose green tea.

It has to be refreshing, not too sweet. Because you'd need to drink a lot every day to stay alive, off the top of my head rice water sounds like an ideal drink, I love the flavor and it has less sugar than horchata, you don't want to have to stuff yourself with sugar every day when you're thirsty.
Another possibility is hibiscus water. Again - if I could regulate the sugar levels it would be a way to go.

Odourless, tasteless, colorless, uncarbonated soda pop.

Decaf tea. Though that's just water with a sprinkle of leaves. Not so different from a twist of lemon or a slice of cucumber.

Go big or go home, I say. Pappy Van Winkle for the rest of my days.

milk i guess but my breath would stink

Barley Tea. Sure it has water, but what drink doesn't? (Also I feel like my days would be heavily numbered if I don't drink any water for the rest of my life.)

Coca Cola. I love it, but I try not to drink it too much. A nice iced can of Coke every now and then.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

See username :) So much variety even though it's all the same tea plant

Cactus cooler.

It's an orange pineapple carbonated beverage that if you can find is such a happy experience.
