I’d personally place tea on S and water on A. Tea is far too versatile. Water is great but tea hydrates just as much and has the potential to be much much more.

TIL that tea dehydrates you is a myth, just looked that up

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Possibly depends a bit how you make it. If you make extremely strong black tea and then dump tons of sugar in it it’s definitely less refreshing than unsweetened mint tea for example. Tea, like most things in life, is a spectrum.

You mean to say: Most things in life are, like tea, a spectrum.

Same with coffee. I believe it’s actually caffeine that can work as a diuretic.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I mostly agree, but I'm not drinking any sort of tea after a 10k. Water/tea/coffee is 95% of what I drink. Whole milk is 3%, and boba tea is another 1%. I'm ashamed to say I drink soda in social settings.

no shame in a good sodie pop once in a while

its everyday that it becomes horrible, for teeth and weight

I have the biggest weak spot for sarsparilla! Or if I find a microbrewery that makes any root beer~

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

I'm not a soda drinker generally but microbreweries sodas are always so much better than anything the big three put out

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I’d argue though, after a 10K, you’re not drinking for any other reason than hydration and in such cases water is always the best. But I’d argue that’s an edge case unless you’re a professional athlete or live in a very hot environment

Isn't... the exclusive reason to drink... hydration?

I mean if I was an avid reader in Sweden I could get by on tea/coffee exclusively. Most people will, on occasion, need to drink water to rehydrate.

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I also drink because I enjoy the taste. Some people drink coffee or energy drinks to stay awake. One can drink alcohol to get drunk. There are many reasons. Yes, hydration is almost always a present and desired effect but not always the reason.

I see you haven’t had proper tea yet

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

I didn't like tea until very recently. Apperently it took about 20 years for me to start liking tea
