Water : Carbonated or not?

Some people enjoy carbonated plain water. I think it sort of reminds them of the 'fuzz' in their mouths when they drink a fizzy soft drink that is usually laden with lots of sugar. In carbonated water, one can still enjoy this without the sugar. Which do you prefer? Why? Please share your stories. Thanks.

I really don't like carbonated water. I prefer to just drink regular still water. I remember when I visited water and tried fizzy water for the first time. I could barely get a sip down! I'm not sure why it bothers me so much since it's still just water, but for some reason I really can't stand it. lol I am one of those rare people though who doesn't like soft drinks, so I guess that's why I don't like the carbonated water. The carbonation doesn't feel good to me going down.

I hate fizzy water. I hated it as a child and I still can't stand it as an adult. It tastes bitter to me so I prefer still water.

Yes, I like better water whit bubbles, I mean water added with carbonic acid, or -if you prefer- CO2 carbonic dioxide. In our countries we have many good brands of mineral water naturally fuzzy and many good plain waters which are artificially added CO2 too. They are better of many refreshing drinks, in my opinion, when you are really thirsty and want something natural and tasty. Or if you are on a diet, doctors say to avoid drinks with sugar and colorant and so on. I like water with many many many bubbles in: so much CO2 that you can cry for your tongue! My wife and I know a couple of brands really explosive and when we can we buy a stock of 6 bottles of 1&1/2 liter each week. Of course, we alternate also with plain tap water, which in our town is very good: we call it 'major's water', it contains a lot of calcium, and fluoride so they say it is very good also for children. Drink water for it is good! bye
