Or just water.
Yes, of course. Preferably tap water.
In America? Maybe not the best idea. Especially if you're in, say, Jackson, Mississippi.

Ok, in some places you might want one of those bubblers at home, I guess.
What's the point of this comment? 99% of counties in the US have safe drinking water and the few that don't get called out for it like this. This is probably a better situation than most countries - including yours
Where did you get that 99% figure from? Because I suspect you made it up.
Especially since:

And then there are the substances which municipal water supplies don't even need to get out of their water-

You may want to dig into the stat some more to get a handle on how bad the situation really is.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't my point what with my link being about tap water. The thing the person I was replying to was talking about.
What? No no no. Clearly soda is the healthy option. You can never be too cautious.
Got it. You're totally ignoring my point that water straight from the tap is too unsafe to drink in multiple U.S. municipalities and are just trolling. Have fun with that.
Exactly, it's unsafe, making pop the safer option.
Yes. Everyone knows soda is extremely healthy. It's pretty much good for every major organ system! Kidneys, bones, pancreas, soda, soda, soda!
I just need a sugar delivery medium. Preferably one that is socially acceptable.
Have you considered eating?
