And no “water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber” goofs. Water isn’t allowed.

    i mean lemon water is still called water.

    you don’t call apple juice apple water or sprite sprite water. i think the limiter is pretty naturally deferred in the naming of the drinks themselves.

      Yeah but this is the same reason Pluto is no longer a planet. Definitions matter, and every single beverage that humans consume is mostly water so, where is the line drawn on saturation of additional components? We need a DEFINITE line. Also I am in the camp that every beverage is “[Additive]-water” and anything that crosses the “not-water” barrier becomes “soup” until it is a baked good or building material.
