Well, it depends on the drink really.
I personally prefer aspartame, I just like the taste more and even liked it when I still drank sugared drinks. Sucralose is also perfectly fine but I hated it back when I drank sugared drinks. It took my tastebuds changing to adapt to it. Stevia is okay, not my favorite, but I won't shy away from it.
It's just personal preference. I'm sure people here will rant and rave about how this is all poison, I'm killing myself, and that everyone should only ever drink water.
I missed the boat on forming a water habit. I grew up on really bad well water that wasn't potable sometimes and even when it was safe (maybe?) it smelled strongly of sulfur. So my mom just made Koolaid with it to hide the smell and taste and that's what we drank. It's hard to imagine sitting down for a meal and not having a drink with flavor, you know?
Should I have formed better habits as an adult? Yes. Am I killing myself by drinking diet drinks? Possibly.
But I'm not too bothered by it. It's not like I don't drink water now.
When you go to a restaurant, do you not enjoy the nice water they usually serve with immersed lemons?
Short Answer: Sometimes, not as my primary drink and it really depends on the water. I'm very sensitive to tastes in it.
Long unnecessary additional information: I am very particular about water and I could not drink anything when I visited Florida because everything tasted like nasty swamp water. Even locally sourced bottled water. We had to hunt for out of state or purified water to hydrate us for our vacation.
In fact, most spring water is blech. Including "premium" bottled spring water like Fiji and Evian and such.
But I do enjoy water from high quality aquifers. The best well water I've had was from a deep bedrock aquifer.
At home I have a pretty advanced water purifier system to get that high quality H2O.
What about San Pellegrino? Its rich in minerals (I tend to equate mineral content with taste/nourishment) and goes well with lime or lemon
