Water is the main component of any and every beverage

EVERY drink is water!

• Soda is less water and some sugar mixture
• Juice is less water and some squished fruit
• Beer is less water and some cooked hops
• Tea is less water and some leaf infusion
• Coffee is less water and some roasted bean-juice
• A martini is even less water with some alcohol and old squished fruit

So DON'T TELL ME WATER ISN'T ALLOWED! Damn, this is making me irrationally angry. Maybe I need some water...

Dr. Pepper because I'm here for a fun time not a long time.

Tea. Iced or hot, black or mint, dash of milk or honey. So many combinations.

A 0.00000001 % NaCl brine solution

Sadly all "drinks" are made primarily from water. Otherwise they were called "chews". You living in the US of A by any chance? Unrelated question.

All normal drinks are just flavored water, so I guess steering fluid?

Coconut water fresh from a refrigerated coconut. I would only drink that, even if I didn't have to, if it was cheap enough.

Tea. Have about 5 cups of tea a day already.

cyanide. you take my water you take my life

Milk

I'll be the strongest mf in the skeleton war

Tea

coffee for sure

Beer, obviously.

Why can't people stop being pedants and just answer in the spirit of OP's question 😭

Anyway, I'd pick bubble tea I think. There's a lot of variety and mileage I can get.

BRAWNDO!

tea, Earl Grey, hot

All liquid involves water.

I don't love tea but yeah it would be tea. Iced green tea lemonade, black tea with milk. If literally only one then iced black tea with lemonade, let it get diluted.

If water isn't allowed, what does one drink? Everything we drink has water in it.

No water allowed that essentially excludes all beverage. If i could have anything else, i'd go with at least two kilos of fruit and berries per day, preferably melon, cucumber, oranges, cherries, raspberry (any berry actually...), plume, pear, apricot. And the occasional fish.

Brawndo. It's got what I crave.

I can drink H₂O₂ for the rest of my life.

Tea assuming I'm allowed any variant of it, lot of different ways you can have tea to make it taste different, iced/hot probably being the most important in this scenario

I be ded.

Pure ethanol. If I'm gonna die of dehydration I might as well have fun doing it.

If “drinks that contain water” are not allowed, then nothing. I will die of thirst.

Tea! Any tea.

water 2

OK, well I guess if water isn't allowed at all then I'll have to go with the Dehydrated Water canister from Space Quest 1

Heavy water.

Boob sweat

Coffee, black. I’m a regular joe and I like my joe regular.

Unsweetened soda, like Bubly and that French one I can't spell.

Edit: Or coconut water.

Whiskey on the rocks.

I can suck the ice cubes during the day, and drink the whiskey at night.

Where my Yerba Mate homies at?

Liquid Dihydrogen Monoxide with a few crystaline samples of more Dihydrogen Monoxide

My favourite drink after water (which is genuinely my favourite drink) is coffee. I don't think, however, that I would like to only drink coffee, so I suppose I will have to choose tea. Especially if I can have any variant

If I have to choose specifically then I'll say decaf Yorkshire tea.

Coffee. Coffee is my life blood.

Duvel, Belgium's premium beer. Duvel translates to Devil, the beer most preferred by Joe Cocker and the reason he wouldn't return to Belgium because it would be the end of him. Looking back he had a point. (1944-2014)

Coconut water!!!!!!

Tea. If I need to choose a type, Green Tea.

Apple juice with a good amount of milk.

Carbonated water. Leave it open for a while.

Beer.

Piss.

Chloroform.

Whole milk

Can you drink glycerine?

Cranberry juice. It has antioxidants!

Birch sap is my first thought, but I might get tired of the sweet. Some kind of tea then, maybe rooibos. It's sweet or savoury as the occasion demands.

If we're allowing categories, I'd probably go for smoothies. There's enough variety in them that I wouldn't get bored and it's got a good amount of water in it so I won't die.

I'd say Coke Zero, but technically this is just a "water with some chemicals in it" goof, and therefore not allowed.

Polar seltzer. That's sparkling water, is that ok?

Man, it had want to be a HUGE drink! What happens if I run out?!

Pedialite. I know some prefer Liquid IV, but I like that I can get Pedialite anywhere and it’s relatively cheap. I give it to my kids instead of juice. They also have popsicles which is great on those super hot days.

Odourless, tasteless, colorless, uncarbonated soda pop.

OG Four Loko

It has to be refreshing, not too sweet. Because you'd need to drink a lot every day to stay alive, off the top of my head rice water sounds like an ideal drink, I love the flavor and it has less sugar than horchata, you don't want to have to stuff yourself with sugar every day when you're thirsty.
Another possibility is hibiscus water. Again - if I could regulate the sugar levels it would be a way to go.

Are we assuming the drink magically has no calories or other negative effects?

I'd choose white wine if it doesn't get me drunk (and as long as it still tastes good and not shitty like alcohol free wine. And also as long as there's no social repercussions from drinking wine all day.)

If the drink keeps all it's normal properties then I'd choose green tea.

lacroix boiii

Unsweat tea

Ayran.

H1O mixed with some Hydrogen. Check mate.

Decaf tea. Though that's just water with a sprinkle of leaves. Not so different from a twist of lemon or a slice of cucumber.

Go big or go home, I say. Pappy Van Winkle for the rest of my days.

Glass bottle coke

milk i guess but my breath would stink

Barley Tea. Sure it has water, but what drink doesn't? (Also I feel like my days would be heavily numbered if I don't drink any water for the rest of my life.)

Coca Cola. I love it, but I try not to drink it too much. A nice iced can of Coke every now and then.

See username :) So much variety even though it's all the same tea plant

I've been drinking brewed cacao (Cacao beans roasted, ground, and brewed like coffee) almost every day lately. So that.

Cactus cooler.

It's an orange pineapple carbonated beverage that if you can find is such a happy experience.

Spezi.

The most water-like thing I am allowed by your very contrived rules. Maybe water with two slices of cucumber.

Bud light. It’s basically alcoholic water.

Maybe truly hard seltzer since it tastes better.

How different from water does it have to be? Just not in the title?

Because both something like sparkling water and juice are basically water.

But I already pretty much only drink sparkling water so I'll pick that one if it's allowed (if the spirit of your question is "no flat water").

D₂O, and then make a living selling my piss to chemical manufacturers

How Drinking Heavy Water Could Kill You

Algae and bacteria can live with 100% heavy water and no regular water. Plant and animal cells are more complex, so too much heavy water results in sickness or death. One key issue is that heavy water disrupts mitosis, the type of cell division used to repair injuries and grow new cells. The mitotic spindles of cells containing too much heavy water simply aren’t able to equally divide a cell to form two identical new ones.

But, you have to continuously drink and eat only heavy water for several days to see an effect. Replacing 20% of regular water in cells with heavy water is survivable for humans and other mammals (although not recommended). Swapping 25% of water with heavy water causes (sometimes irreversible) sterilization. Replacing 50% of water with heavy water is lethal. It’s not a pretty death, either. Heavy water poisoning resembles radiation poisoning or cytotoxic poisoning from chemotherapy.

fuck I changed my mind can I do green tea

Lemonsoda

Arnold palmers. Nothing beats em

Tequila, some ice

In that case I'd have h2o too

I'll take the large glass of Poison. 1 glass is more than a lifetime supply.

Some herbal tea. Mint would probably be best. It's what I drink most of the time anyway.

Dimethylmercury

P I S S

The only thing that is more water than water, Cors light. But now, really I'd prefer to drink my own piss, since coincidentally enough, Cors Light is also one of the few liquid that is more piss than piss.

My heart says unsweetened black iced tea, but after a bout of kidney stones I guess I'd have to go with an iced herbal tea. Maybe something minty.

7UP Free but not the new one they've recently changed it to, the proper one. I miss it so much 😭

Kephir

Soy "milk"

Ginger ale!!

Iced jasmine tea. It is so good!

Unsweetened ice tea.

Coconut water/organic* Cranberry juice/Spritz.

Does this drink based magic, by chance, make refined sugars less problematic? I really want to say wild cherry pepsi but I drink a lot over the course of a day and I don't think my body will cope well with that much fructose.

If I want to live to see the age of 50 I think I'll go with cranberry pomegranate tea.

Honeybush tea. It's an herbal tea from South Africa that tastes like honey..

Tea

Monster Ultra Zero. Idgaf about caffeine or aspartame or if it gives you energy or not, I just like how it tastes. I’d love a caffeine-free version that I could drink without worrying about dosage too much, but hey… we all gotta die sometime.

Horchata

SoBe Citrus Energy. Sadly it's important to find anymore. Nobody seems to distribute it anywhere near northern IL or southern WI anymore.

And no "water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber" goofs. Water isn't allowed.

No sugar, no proteins?

Tap water has minerals.

Tomato juice, maybe?

rolling rock

Vanilla milkshakes.

Wheatbeer.

If the drink is free, Arizona black and white iced tea. If not, iced coffee with a bit of honey and non dairy creamer

Coffee

Probably hydrogen molecules fused with oxygen with another hydrogen

What is this "water" you speak of? Seriously, I almost never drink it, I'm more into sugary drinks. But in light of the question asked, my one choice would be chocolate milk.

alouda, milk based mauritian drink my girlfriends mum intoduced me to
