Water - Bubbles or No?

[solo47]

Hey all. I know enough to drink a lot of water, especially on-cycle. But flat water bores me. I like the bubbles in soda water or Perrier. So, basically, except to make my coffee, bubbly water is all I drink. During workouts, frankly I enjoy the burps carbonated water causes because I seem to get an energy lift from them. (All in the mind, of course, but so what?)

Is there any reason not to drink all my my water in the form of Perrier or soda water?

Thought it was time we talked about the really serious issues!

Other than the fact that your water costs 4000% more than mine does? Probably not. There's an urban myth going around that carbonated beverages leach calcium from the bones and ruin muscular gains, but I'm pretty sure that's a bunch of hooey.

Carbonation strips your body of minerals.

I've heard that but seen no experimental evidence. I'll keep it in mind, but some folks think that warning is just "a bunch of hooey".

Maybe I should weigh my urine after drinking regular water and then after carbonated water in the same amount. If it weighs more after carbonated water I'll know minerals are leaching outta me.

Shall I take that ( ) to mean that we're thinking the same thing?

I have no experimental evidence that MSG burns holes in your brain either but if you heard it a 100 times there must be something to it.

That's true. Steroids also make your penis small and they make you go into uncontrollable fits of rage. Similarly, LSD retards your chromosms and makes you have fucked up kids. And, most importantly, coca-cola will disolve rust, teeth and raw meat.

There you have it, everything you said is true except, my penis never got smaller on roids but my nuts sure did.

None of that is true.

I was thinking rot your teeth and unclog a slow drain. Who knows about the raw meat.

Did you read the link? That's all false.

Solo,
I wondering if a splash of scotch in your soda water every evening might bring the matter some clarity?
