Certainly symptoms like dry mucous membranes or lightheadedness can be caused by mechanisms other than dehydration, and it would surprise me if sparkling water could cause symptomatic dehydration (as opposed to correcting it, since the main ingredient is water).
- hcknwscommenter 3y agoI replied to similar comment above. I certainly did not take great pains to accurately measure hydration status. But I did eye ball my urine output and it seems that seltzer really ups it, a lot more than tap water or even a "normal" [not high abv] beer like coors. Maybe my body is uniquely sensitive to highly carbonated liquids. Maybe it's all in my head. But I think it's real.
