Sparkly Flavoured Water...

I once bought a bottle of sparkly flavoured water from a garage as a mistake, thinking it was just water. I spat it out in disgust. Anyway, as a first step it's OK, but the acquired taste of pure water is where you want to get to eventually. When you're really properly thirsty then nothing beats just water.

The thing to live by is 'everything in moderation'.

2+ litres of any drink other than filtered water per day would harm you in some way.

I completely agree with this. I went through a phase of drinking loads of fizzy drinks in an attempt to lose weight. The acid in the drinks ended up giving me chronic bladder problems (chemical cystisis) which took YEARS to diagnose properly and involved unsuccesful treatment with unpleasant drugs and was only finally cured through homeopathy. All I can say is BEWARE drinking large amounts of carbonated drinks!!!
