Take that terrible tasting alkaline water!

So, I bought alkaline water because some people say it is better for you, although the majority of medical professionals think standard water is fine for most. I had smartwater once..which is alkaline and tasted pretty good, but this was some off brand I bought. It was horrible, tasting like distilled water, if you have ever tasted that..It was just flat and nasty. So, I put some Mio in it..one of the beverage additives. Now the water is drinkable..I am sure Mio may be defeating the purpose but a few drops probably aren't terrible..now I can drink the water.

I've never bought alkaline water. Just the name sounds dodgy for me. Luckily we have good water at the house.

I love my water at home..but I guess we are supposed to be striving to make our bodies more alkaline.

@enlightenedpsych2 Yep, it's from a deep well.

@enlightenedpsych2 It's straight from the heavens. A bit of carb soda added from time to time to stop the blue staining in the wash basins.

Maybe it is the brand you bought, sometimes I buy alkaline water and it tastes the same for me.

I have not tasted alkaline water yet. What is Mio? Sounds cool to add that in water to make it taste better.

They are flavoring drops you can put into plain water to make it taste better, or have a flavored drink.

I drink alkaline water. I thought I could drink it like normal water, but my kidneys couldn't stand this water. I had pain.

It shouldn't have done that..maybe you had a bad batch.
