Stop. If it literally dehydrated you, I'd have expired by now. They've been weeks where I only drank sparkling water. There's no way I'd have survived, hell, even today alone.
Some soda water is salty (maybe tonic), but in general it's either just carbonated, or it's carbonated and has a bunch of minerals in it (more expensive mineral water that might have calcium, potassium, etc. in it).
- hcknwscommenter 3y agoSo, typically I drink sparkling with some sort of flavorant, usually a no-sugar lemon lime etc. Maybe it's the flavor/acidity? I don't know, but it seems to be a pretty effective diuretic to me. Purely anecdotal but, I have tried some self-experimentation by drinking 12 ounces of lemon flavor polar compared with 12 ounces of coors, and eyeballing how much I urinate over the next 2 hours. And honestly I feel like I lose more hydration from the seltzer. That doesn't happen to you?
