Still or Sparkling???

[rash_decision]

Is there any benefit in drinking Sparkiling Water over Still Water?? I drink loads of Still Water, but a couple of guys I know swear that Sparkling Water is better for your system?? Any thoughts???

[Sticks.]

Sparkling water is slightly more acidic afaik, that's all.

I don't see how with that poison in it...ergh, hate sparkling water, it's like lemonade with all the nice taken out.

I totally agree - it looks like lemonade but there's no flavour there!

I love it, so refreshing!

However, pretty sure too much of it can deplete calcium stores in your body and long term problems could be brittle bones. You're definitely better with still.

I imagine this would take a lot though.

Exactly what I was thinking, got stung with some at work the other day and nearly threw up

However, a pint of it with an inch of Rose's Lime Juice Cordial (NOT any cheap imitation stuff with 'orrible sweetners in) is the most refreshing drink in world

Still all the way for me, preferably tap water over bottled.
