Apparently Germany is one of the few (the only? Who knows) country to prefer carbonated water.

Is it normal to feel dehydrated after drinking carbonated water? That's why I avoid it, personally, but I wonder if I'm just fucked up.

[-] JASN_DE@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

No, it isn't. At least not for anyone I know.

[-] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Ah, so I'm fucked up 🫠

[-] Acamon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I definitely feel less hydrated. A lot of carbonated waters haver a higher sodium level, so that might be part of it. Or it's just the bitter taste of carbon dioxide.

Is it just carbonated water (preferably naturally carbonated mineral water) or is it some kind of soda, with added sugars and whatnot?

Because the first one shouldn't make you feel dehydrated, no. Just burpy, and soothed if you had a stomach ache.

[-] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure I've ever had naturally carbonated mineral water before, but yeah, the stuff I'm talking about has no sugar or anything, it's just water. I'm not sure why it does that to me!

Austrian here, and it's the default at restaurants etc. as well. I hate it, it hurts my throat. Leitungswasser bitte, danke :)

It's literally called "Danish water" here in Denmark, though I don't like it

When visiting France the carbonated water was ubiquitous. The company I work for have water fountains with the option of carbonated water in all of their French offices.

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You have 2 neighbors where it's basically a public good.

I saw a guy in a park in Milan at almost midnight filling up a few 5 liter bottles from the carbonated water station. He clearly lived across the street and just...needed to bathe in fizzy water right then? No idea. But it's not just you all.

It is everywhere. I prefer water straight from the tap, which is usually better quality anyway (say the labs, not me).
