Drinking water gives me acid reflux, always has. Which is weird because fanta is a lot more acidic and doesn't do that.
There's common misconseption that higher acid in your stomach causes acid reflux, however it is actually the oposite. There's sphincter in your esophagus which contracts when there's enough acidity and opens when there's lack of. So when you are having bad reflux, try increasing your stomach acid by either chewing gum, eating sour or eating something bitter. Avoid drinking large amount of water after heavy meals, since you are diluting acid. Also less smoking and drinking helps (quitting smoking really helped for me. Those over the counter tablets containing carbonate salts actually make it even worse, since they neutralize stomach acid, when you want to increase it. Protein pump inhibitors, such as ranitidine block production of stomach acid completely, however it really messes up with your protein intake. Common pain killers, such as ibuprofen, aspirin mess with yiur stomach too
Does it burn? If I drink cold water, I tend to get esophageal spasms. My heart to my jaw gets this tension and pain, but it doesn't burn. It tends to be worse with normal sipping amounts rather than chugging like a hamster. It can happen with beer but for whatever reason, soda never causes it for me. Probably something about the drink rate or usually having soda at room temp. Not trying to tell you how your body works, just offering up info no one I know knows about.
Yes it burns at the plexus and throat. I find it less so when I filter the (bottled) water in a brita filter (cartridged filters) but then it tastes funny. So I actually never drink water.
What is even weirder if I drink those water bottle with a slight hint of flavor, no reflux. Might be a mental problem?
I don't experience what you have.
RC needs to be higher.
apfelschorle should be at least an A-Tier as well - best drink besides water, especially when you want some variety at some point.
Why would I fight the truth?
I know exactly 3 (+water) on this list.
What about Brawndo? It's what plants crave!
It's got electrolytes!
Water, coffee, whiskey, wine. Drink alcohol maybe once or twice a month, coffee and water daily.
All S tier.
Here's my own controversial take:
Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they're expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.
Countless times i've been offered drinks that "taste good", or that "you can barely taste the alcohol" and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there's a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.
No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you've already taken a dump on it.
I can definitely see how you would feel that way, but for me, there's definitely a whole world of depth of flavor brought out via fermentation, which includes alcoholic beverages. I don't personally care for the alcohol content usually, but the flavor is truly unique and can be special.
Hard disagree with whiskey.
How you gonna say wine and coffee then be hyper specific with what liquor? Just say liquor.
There's just as much variation in whiskey as there is with wine and coffee, honestly.
I mean there's just as much variation with gin, and gin is my s tier liquor, but it's not everyone's. That's my point.
Sure, I was just giving my S tier as well.
Ohhh, ok i misunderstood then, mb thought you were saying it should be everyone's
I have every confidence this is a gigabrain take that everyone will agree with
grappa should have its own sub-basement-shit-tier as both a liquor, alcoholic beverage and beverage in general.
fuck grappa. all my homies hate grappa
But im sure there are people out there that would put grappa as their s-tier liquor, ultimately that was what I was trying to say, that by putting liquor as s-tier everyone can put their favorite in that slot.
I have had grappa that sent me to another planet for the depth of flavor. I have never been able to actually find a bottle of good grappa and have long since given up. But I know that good grappa does exist
