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

Speak for yourself. “Cucumber water” does not have the same “sensory qualities” as water unless taste doesn’t count as a sense.
