Apparently Germany is one of the few (the only? Who knows) country to prefer carbonated water.
Ugh i hated that about Germany. When you ask for a water they bring you a seltzer. If you want water you have to specifically ask for "still water". Like what?! That's crazy nonsense. Water is one of the most basic elements of life as we know it, you can't make the word for water mean anything other than what it's always meant. I mean obviously you can, but it seems insanely dumb
Is it normal to feel dehydrated after drinking carbonated water? That's why I avoid it, personally, but I wonder if I'm just fucked up.
No, it isn't. At least not for anyone I know.
Ah, so I'm fucked up 🫠
It's literally called "Danish water" here in Denmark, though I don't like it
You have 2 neighbors where it's basically a public good.
I saw a guy in a park in Milan at almost midnight filling up a few 5 liter bottles from the carbonated water station. He clearly lived across the street and just...needed to bathe in fizzy water right then? No idea. But it's not just you all.
