You can only drink one drink for the rest of your life, but it cannot be water. What do you pick? (kbin.social)

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

I think OP knows exactly what they mean, I think if you asked a five year old they’d know what they mean.

Yet for some reason, some people are completely missing the point of a very simple question which boils down to “if you couldn’t drink regular water, what would you have instead”…

That’s not “exactly” what they mean, as the difference between what you think they’re saying and other commenters think is clearly different. Is la croix or bubbly allowed? If not then what about a hard seltzer? If those are allowed then why isn’t lemon water allowed? If those aren’t allowed then where is the line? Gatorade is seltzer water without the bubbles and with electrolytes. It’s clear that OP’s question was not well thought out, hence why so many people here have a problem with it.
