I mostly agree, but I'm not drinking any sort of tea after a 10k. Water/tea/coffee is 95% of what I drink. Whole milk is 3%, and boba tea is another 1%. I'm ashamed to say I drink soda in social settings.

its everyday that it becomes horrible, for teeth and weight

I have the biggest weak spot for sarsparilla! Or if I find a microbrewery that makes any root beer~

I'm not a soda drinker generally but microbreweries sodas are always so much better than anything the big three put out

I’d argue though, after a 10K, you’re not drinking for any other reason than hydration and in such cases water is always the best. But I’d argue that’s an edge case unless you’re a professional athlete or live in a very hot environment

Isn't... the exclusive reason to drink... hydration?

I mean if I was an avid reader in Sweden I could get by on tea/coffee exclusively. Most people will, on occasion, need to drink water to rehydrate.

I also drink because I enjoy the taste. Some people drink coffee or energy drinks to stay awake. One can drink alcohol to get drunk. There are many reasons. Yes, hydration is almost always a present and desired effect but not always the reason.
