Depends on water quality and the water treatment system in your locale. LaCroix is low abrasive, doesn't take the enamel off your teeth like colas do. I like it. My favorite flavors are passionfruit, mango and apricot. The citrus flavors seem too have too much citric acid for my gut on a daily basis. I can go through 3 cases in a few days. I mix it half and half with kombucha, tastes great. Stretches out the booch as that costs anywhere from 3-4 bucks a pop. Coconut is good, too.0

If you’re talking about hydration, then yes, it’s water0

It’s just water with (carbon dioxide) bubbles in it.
Warning: may cause burping.8 -

It tickles your tongue, therefore superior.6

Yep, it's as good as regular water... But it may make you burp a bit!
I actually prefer carbonated water, as it kills any cravings I'm having for cola!3 -
Water is water no matter what else is in there as far as hydration is concerned.
A cup of water with carbonation in it is a cup of water
A cup of water with cordial in it is a cup of water
A cup of water a tea bag in it is a cup of water
A cup of diet soft drink is more or less a cup of water (99% water)
A cup of beer is slightly less but still pretty much a cup of water (95% water)
Just because a drink has other ingredients doesn't magically make water stop being water.
(not taking into account the negligible diuretic effects of some drinks)6
