I just stir it regularly and eyeball when it's presumably done.

I'm not even sure what you are trying to say, you seem to be moving the goal posts a lot between comments. My top comment should be read as alkaline water doesn't do anything special for your body since it's just water when it enters the stomach. The only thing it can help for is for LPR sufferers as @realitista@lemmus.org states in another reply to my top comment.

First, like someone stated above, your stomach pH won't be very much affected by the alkalinity. Basically, your stomach pH is very low, pH 2 is normal. Since pH is a log scale, you would need to make it ten times less acidic to get a pH of 3. Som slightly alkaline water solution won't get it there, especially since the stomach fluid is a buffer which helps maintain a constant pH. Dilution will help more, depending on the volume of stomach fluid. However, your stomach will produce more acid to make up for it.

Second, now you still have to get the pH of the whole body higher, which means raising the pH of the blood. The pH of blood is about 7,4 and it is also a buffer. You have 5 liters of blood, which get constantly pumped around the body. If there were something jacking the pH of your blood (via IV), your kidneys would remove the alkalinity again, right up to the point of kidney failure. This is where you die.

TIL, thank you. It indeed makes perfect sense that it would help for this.

Better for the teeth than pH neutral? Nope. For heartburn it might help, but only for a real short time. Non-fat milk would probably be the better choice.

Alkaline water won't be alkaline for long after it enters the stomach, so it doesn't really matter

I never watched the last episode of Good Omens S2. And this was before the Gaiman controversy.

The handset devision was sold to Microsoft, after being managed by a manager from Microsoft for a while. Microsoft shut it down within two years if I remember correctly.

One of the funniest things I saw when this was unfolding on youtube is that McNally works for Covert Instruments, AKA the Lockpicking Lawyer's company. Proven Industries couldn't have fucked up more if it was deliberate.

As a European I have to say, you are very optimistic about our train schedules.
