We tend to take a thing that is naturally pleasant and overload people with it.
So, like, a little bit of sugar is supposed to signal ripeness and edibility. But then we take the signal and divorce it from the actual foodstuff, concentrate it, and overload it into a beverage that has no actual nutritional value. This intense sensation
If you stick to those mildly flavored bubble waters, you get the enjoyment of a bubbly beverage and the slight tang of fruit, without the sugar/caffeine bomb. Alternatively, just squeeze some lemon into hot water (or mild tea). Delicious, good for your throat, warms you up, and your dentist won’t be filling a dozen cavities the next time you see him.
Drinking carbonated water once in a while likely won’t harm your enamel. However, regular consumption—especially sipping throughout the day—can lower your mouth’s pH and stress your enamel far more than you might expect.
Goddamnit. Why is it that everything enjoyable is bad for you? 😡

You’re tight. I was referring to how even sparkling water is bad for you.
I mean, the carbonation isn’t great. But it’s the sugar that really kills you.
