though can only be ingested once
Nougat ( @Nougat@kbin.social ) 12•11 months agoBased on the posed question and its limiting conditions, elemental mercury is a correct answer. Pure hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol would qualify, too.
If you include materials which are liquid outside of “room temperature,” things like magma and liquid nitrogen would also be correct answers.

mlc894 ( @mlc894@lemm.ee ) 4•11 months agoNot quite, actually! I mean, it’s not good for you, but once it’s in your digestive tract it mostly passes straight through rather than being absorbed. The vapor over the liquid is more dangerous, but once you’ve swallowed it that’s not a concern.

Nougat ( @Nougat@kbin.social ) 3•11 months agoI posit that any substance which can be ingested as a liquid by pouring it from a container into one’s mouth (the act of “drinking”) is, by definition, a “drink.”
li10 ( @li10@feddit.uk ) English14•11 months agoTrue, but at the same time you know exactly what OP means with this question.
DarraignTheSane ( @DarraignTheSane@lemmy.one ) English28•11 months agoI 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.
li10 ( @li10@feddit.uk ) English9•11 months agoI 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”…
snowe ( @snowe@programming.dev ) 9•11 months agoThat’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.
LanternEverywhere ( @LanternEverywhere@kbin.social ) 7•11 months agoThe 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.
𝓢𝓮𝓮𝓙𝓪𝔂𝓔𝓶𝓶 ( @SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org ) 8•11 months agoSpeak for yourself. “Cucumber water” does not have the same “sensory qualities” as water unless taste doesn’t count as a sense.
hglman ( @hglman@lemmy.ml ) English10•11 months agoA 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.
snowe ( @snowe@programming.dev ) 1•11 months agodo you have a link to the paper? I want to read it

Dandroid ( @dandroid@dandroid.app ) 2•11 months agoI had this argument with my roommate once. It was probably the biggest argument we ever had. IMO, just because it has water in it doesn’t mean that the drink is water. Like, some people don’t like the taste of water, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t like milk, which has water in it.
For me a beverage is defined by its flavor, not its components.
snowe ( @snowe@programming.dev ) 10•11 months agoThey said no goofs like lemon water though. So what’s the line?

Empricorn ( @Empricorn@feddit.nl ) 60•11 months agoEVERY 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…
bobs_monkey ( @bobs_monkey@lemm.ee ) 42•11 months agoTea. Iced or hot, black or mint, dash of milk or honey. So many combinations.
AttackBunny ( @AttackBunny@kbin.social ) 8•11 months agoAgreed, but in theory you wouldn’t be able to add milk (it’s a drink after all)

StantonVitales ( @StantonVitales@beehaw.org ) 15•11 months agoWater is in every beverage, this question is unanswerable.
Even without trying to be pedantic, what about Vitamin Water? Cuz my answer would genuinely be tropical citrus vitamin water. I could also do Mountain Dew, which btw contains water.
So the question becomes based on the exclusion of water without additives, which begs the question, why not lemon water then, and what amount of additives qualifies it as ‘not water’ anymore? If I use lemon extract and sugar does that count as lemonade? If so, why isn’t water with lemon extract considered unsweetened lemonade?
