And no "water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber" goofs. Water isn't allowed.

EVERY 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...

Tea. Iced or hot, black or mint, dash of milk or honey. So many combinations.

That might be more water than most water.

Sadly all "drinks" are made primarily from water. Otherwise they were called "chews". You living in the US of A by any chance? Unrelated question.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

All normal drinks are just flavored water, so I guess steering fluid?

Tea. Have about 5 cups of tea a day already.

Coconut water fresh from a refrigerated coconut. I would only drink that, even if I didn't have to, if it was cheap enough.

Why can't people stop being pedants and just answer in the spirit of OP's question 😭

Anyway, I'd pick bubble tea I think. There's a lot of variety and mileage I can get.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 12 points 1 year ago

Because the question is nonsensical.

Whiskey on the rocks.

I can suck the ice cubes during the day, and drink the whiskey at night.

Right? OP said you can't drink water, but they didn't say anything about eating it

If “drinks that contain water” are not allowed, then nothing. I will die of thirst.

[-] StantonVitales@beehaw.org 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Water 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?

If water isn't allowed, what does one drink? Everything we drink has water in it.

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Tea assuming I'm allowed any variant of it, lot of different ways you can have tea to make it taste different, iced/hot probably being the most important in this scenario

[-] DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No water allowed that essentially excludes all beverage. If i could have anything else, i'd go with at least two kilos of fruit and berries per day, preferably melon, cucumber, oranges, cherries, raspberry (any berry actually...), plume, pear, apricot. And the occasional fish.

OK, well I guess if water isn't allowed at all then I'll have to go with the Dehydrated Water canister from Space Quest 1
