Why?
I seriously don't get the obsession with hating on a less damaging alternative to an already bad habbits.

@Curvin @vaartis
When I started my fitness jurney, literally the best thing to help me get over the initial hell was suger free sparkling water. Because if I were to jump straight to water only, I would not be able to handle it.

@LukeAlmighty @vaartis >fructose free sparkling water
Are you fucking serious with me? Now I definitely know you're American
@LukeAlmighty @vaartis What the fuck?
You live in the one place in the world where wine, beer and vodka are all popular in equal measure and you drink "sugar free" sparkling WATER?

@Curvin @vaartis
I see why you don't get it...
Of course I still drink a ton of beer and Burčák. But we also have this demon. And that demon got me fat really bad.

@LukeAlmighty @vaartis Let me be clearer aswell I genuinely thought you were implying the existence of a "sugary" sparkling water, but not in the sense you were probably saying.
Maybe you meant me to interpret it as what soda pop drinks essentially are, but I got confused and thought you were talking about normal sparkling water with regular sugar dissolved in it, produced and bottled at a plant somewhere.
Those do exist.

They're sparkling water with light sweetening (sugar or sweetener) and light flavouring.

They're like halfway between plain mineral water and a soda. They're quite popular.
@Eiregoat @LukeAlmighty @vaartis Ohhhhhhh Shit.
I just realized, in where I live we have something that somewhat fits that description, and it's called "Gazzosa".
I can't fucking believe I forgot this existed.

@Curvin @Eiregoat @vaartis
Well, in here, we have entire section of every shop filled with 20+ types of it. :D

Also I believe, there's a funny language barrier, since we call all of lightly sweetened water "soda" or "mineral water", while what you call a soda pop (all the dark with a ton of sugar), we call all of that "cola".

We call all of that "soft drinks" or "fizzy drinks." There is the word "flavoured water" for the lights stuff but idk if anyone uses it other than marketing copywriters.
