    Check for sodium content as some carbonated drinks contain some.

    Yeah you have to be careful. It might have 15-40mg of sodium.

    There is nothing (absolutely nothing) in the ones I drink. It is just like drinking water except it feels like you could be drinking a soda. (: I love them.

    I've read the ingredients and compared them to diet soda. They seem to be basically the same to me minus the dye that's in soda . . .

    What you need to do is get a Sodastream....they are really awesome.. I drink two bottles (8 cups per day)... and it just uses regular tap water (if where you live is OK to drink the tap water).

    If you buy it you might want to look at the salt (sodium) content...

    Keep drinking your water!

    Just as the others have said, just check on the sodium... they don't taste salty or anything but some have sodium in them. Otherwise, I think it's a great alternative to plain water - I like mine with some lime or lemon squeezed in.

    Right now, with it being cold out, I tend to drink unsweetened hot tea. But, I can see as summer approaches turning toward more sparkling water instead.

    Little known fact, it's the carbonation in soda that makes people fat, not the sugar

    I too have issues with plain water and need the fizzy stuff at times. I have and use a Sodastream for perhaps my last two glasses of water needed daily or I tend to get San Pellegrino since it's naturally carbonated.
