    Apparently Germany is one of the few (the only? Who knows) country to prefer carbonated water.

      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.

        I definitely feel less hydrated. A lot of carbonated waters haver a higher sodium level, so that might be part of it. Or it’s just the bitter taste of carbon dioxide.

        Is it just carbonated water (preferably naturally carbonated mineral water) or is it some kind of soda, with added sugars and whatnot?

        Because the first one shouldn’t make you feel dehydrated, no. Just burpy, and soothed if you had a stomach ache.

          I’m not sure I’ve ever had naturally carbonated mineral water before, but yeah, the stuff I’m talking about has no sugar or anything, it’s just water. I’m not sure why it does that to me!

      Austrian here, and it’s the default at restaurants etc. as well. I hate it, it hurts my throat. Leitungswasser bitte, danke :)

      When visiting France the carbonated water was ubiquitous. The company I work for have water fountains with the option of carbonated water in all of their French offices.

      It is everywhere. I prefer water straight from the tap, which is usually better quality anyway (say the labs, not me).
