Water is not holy. All of the drinks they mentioned are nearly all water. If putting stuff in water means you drink enough to keep you hydrated, good on anyone doing that.
The myths and misinfortmation on this topic get really old and tiring.
It’s like if someone said “Burgers are healthy, but only if you don’t put anything on them except bread and meat. No cheese, no condiments, no vegetables, ONLY BREAD AND MEAT”. It’s a stupid analogy because people complaining about others drinking water with stuff in it is also stupid.
Now sure, if you’re drinking milk, juice, regular soda, fancy coffee drinks - things with loads of sugar. Well, you gotta account for those calories.
But otherwise: Water, whether or not you put small amounts of things in it, is hydrating and healthy.
So fucking glad I switched to prebiotic/probiotic sodas and sparkling water.
Or, you know, just water.

Hydration is woo bullshit. Thirsty? drink water until not thirsty.
Hydration is a construct of the beverage industry.
