I’d like to come out of the closet about something. I passionately hate any drink that isn’t water or water-based. Sure, water with fruit-syrup is fine. That’s completely okay. My passion targets drinks such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, or whatever the other trash is called. Yes, my hatred includes wine, beer and spirits. I cannot drink this stuff because it genuinely disgusts me. I live a place that has brilliant tap water, way better than any sparkling water you could buy from a shop. Basically 90% of the time I only drink tap water. If I’m at a restaurant, I ask them to squeeze some raspberry, or lemons into the water, but to leave out any sugar.
Until I found this community, I did not know how to voice this niche and weird aspect of me. I see all of my friends drink this sugary sewage or alcohol, and I only ever drink something that’s water-based or purely water. I know I’m probably the minority and I am weird to them. But that’s just how I feel like. It’s weird to drink sugary sewage.
While writing this, I think this is how some homosexuals or transgenders feel when they come out about being of a different sexuality or gender. But not for me, I had my “come out of the closet” moment with water. This is not a shitpost. I am serious. And I am proud.
I also live in a place with exceptional tap water. Most bottled water tastes disgusting to me, though there are a couple brands that taste fine.
The best brand at my local corner store is Crystal Geyser, which happens to be the cheapest. The worst one is Arrowhead, which happens to be the second cheapest. All of the fancy brands fall in between those two taste-wise (except alkaline waters which i do not like)
