Yeah, that's why my drink list contains mostly water, coffee, and tea. Trying to cut the energy drink habit, which is incredibly hard (they have 0g sugar, although for sure have artificial sugars). I'm down to about 1 per day, sometimes none at all.

When I finally manage to cut them out, I will be incredibly proud. But, man, they've made them so, so addicting.

Also... I don't know. I drink bottled water, which has microplastics, eh? There's no winning.

Is your local tap water no good? I carry around a 40oz Hydro Flask full of the city water from the tap and it works well for me.

No, it's disgusting. It leaves a yellow lining in the toilet and has a strong chlorine smell sometimes.

I do have a filter as well, which I use to cook with and drink when out of bottled water.

Energy drink habit is really hard to deal with...
