At the end of the day, drinking seltzer is not exactly the same as drinking still water, but it’s close enough for everyday life. The bubbles, the acid, the flavors—they change the experience, not the core hydration power. Your kidneys don’t know the difference.
So go ahead, crack open a bubbly can. Just don’t pretend it’s a glass of tap water from the sink. Embrace the fizz! Your body will thank you either way. And if someone tells you seltzer is “bad,” just smile, burp softly, and say, “It’s still water, friend. It’s just having a good time.”
