I don’t think OP knows what they mean with this question. The top two ‘serious’ answers are coffee and tea, which is just “hot water with shit mixed in”. Anything you drink is water with shit mixed in. Any answer that isn’t “water with shit mixed in” means you die, either within months or minutes. Most answers that are “water with shit mixed in” would still kill you fairly quickly if that’s all you ever drank.
I think OP knows exactly what they mean, I think if you asked a five year old they’d know what they mean.
Yet for some reason, some people are completely missing the point of a very simple question which boils down to “if you couldn’t drink regular water, what would you have instead”…
The point of OP’s question is clear. He’s referring to a drink that has sensory qualities that are clearly distinct from plain water. Water with a spritz of lemon still reads as water. As a loose guideline this is like anything you’d order as “water with x” or “x water”, like cucumber water. Coffee clearly doesn’t fit into that category, it has sensory qualities that are very different than water with x in it.
If I ask anyone for a glass of water, they’re going to get me the same thing because they know what I mean. No one is going to get me a glass of orange juice or tea or 7up, even though that’s technically also water.
This is not true. Coffee is a mild diuretic, but the amount of water you consume along with it is way way more than the amount of water that the caffeine induces you to pee out.
Dude. Yes they have some small diuretic effects but tea and coffee are overwhelmingly hydrating. It’s just not a good idea to mainline that much caffeine for heart reasons.
True, but at the same time you know exactly what OP means with this question.

Garbage in, garbage out. It’s a dumb question. There’s no high road to be taken here.

Speak for yourself. “Cucumber water” does not have the same “sensory qualities” as water unless taste doesn’t count as a sense.

You know what OP means. You’re being ridiculous.

They obviously wouldn’t, they’d just bring tap water or bottled water or something. What are you even talking about.

I’m curious how far you can take this. Can you drink only espressos and still get hydrated?
Quick someone call Bear Grylls or someone.

Then i don’t understand your argument. There’s nothing stopping you from drinking as much coffee as you need to get your water

Sure, added that note in an edit. There’s no answer here that doesn’t result in your early death.
