Topo Chico or San Pellegrino. Sparkling mineral water in general. Gotta have those minerals, though.

Topo Chico is what Austinites call water.

It took me a long time to realize that la Croix and sparkling waters aren’t lacking flavor. It’s that my palette was so overwhelmed with sugar that I couldn’t taste those flavors. Once I stopped drinking soda everything else kind of popped with flavor

Yeah, I honestly don’t know how la croix does it, but that water has serious flavor, without any of that gross chemical aftertaste. I drink so much la croix…

I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. I can pick up a big case of cola for cheaper than a modest sized case of fizzy water.

Cephalotrocity ,

You should be able to find it for the same price as most other sodas. Admittedly it is one of the only canned beverages that doesn’t go on sale though so that’s probably what you mean.

You say carbonated drink in the title but specify energy drink in your text. I don’t think there are any energy drinks that avoid caffeine. It is one of the cheapest means to chemically boost alertness the food industry is allowed to use.

Non energy drinks should be extremely easy to find. Literally read the ingredients list. Caffeine will either be in the list as it is an additive, or listed in the daily allowance chart (if your country uses those). If you don’t find it in either you’re good.

Get yourself a countertop carbonator like a Sodastream or Drinkmate.

I have a Drinkmate, and they have a CO2 cylinder exchange program where you can get a heavy discount on more cylinders by returning the empty ones beforehand (prepaid shipping label included with cylinder packs.)

Other than the initial cost of the machine and any additional cylinders you want (I have a total of five, so I can install the last one and ship back four empties for a coupon, but that's probably a little overkill for one person), the ongoing cost is reasonable. I make 1-2L of soda water pretty much every day and I get a little over a month out of each cylinder. Works out to less than $15 a month for me.

There’s a paintball place near me that advertised that they refill soda stream tanks.

Don’t play paintball, and don’t have a soda stream, but I remember this for some reason.

That's mildly concerning! There are risks associated with using less-than food-grade CO2 in beverages.

PixelTron ,

Sodastream is from Israel, so that’s a big no from me. Only learned that recently when I was considering if I should buy one.

Not heard of Drinkmate before. Thanks for reigniting my hopes of home made carbonated water!

monobot ,

The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.

It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.

Today ,

Or just plain or flavored bubbly water, which is good

ryannathans ,

Non alcoholic beer has lots of sugar www.healthline.com/…/how-much-sugar-in-beer#vario…

Philote ,

Fresca.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EonNShadow ,

Too bad fresca uses artificial sweeteners

I used to like the old fresca, too

NauticalNoodle ,

The aspartame is a big part of Fresca’s flavor.

etchinghillside ,

This was going to be my choice until I realized they wanted some caffeine.

NauticalNoodle , (edited )

Sunkist orange soda or my preference, Barqs root beer. Both have a very limited amount of caffeine to impact the flavor. “Barqs has bite” because it has a tiny amount of caffeine. Caffeine has an apparently bitter taste.

FanonFan ,

There’s quite a few caffeine free, sugar free sodas, at least in the states. Taste is subjective tho

monobot ,

But within artificial sweeteners, which might be even worse for our health than sugar.

FanonFan ,

I look into this every few years and have yet to see any evidence of it. Even the scale alone means any of them would have to be orders of magnitude worse than high fructose corn syrup or sucrose to be worrying, since they’re multiple orders of magnitude sweeter.

For a comparable level of sweetness to HFCS, a serving of artificial sweeteners is a fraction of their Acceptable Daily Intake.

Tap water

bradboimler ,

La Croix

UlyssesT ,

V8 Energy is pretty good. The caffeine amount is relatively low and the ingredients are decent.

Soda water

RBWells ,

The no caffeine sodas I like best have too much sugar to drink often. Ginger Beer and Jarritos Grapefruit soda.

Rhaedas ,

Many root beers don't have caffeine, or rather there are a few brands that introduce a small amount for taste or other reason. And there's lots of variations in taste in those.

etchinghillside ,

Just don’t. There’s not too much of a benefit but adding to the grocery budget. 1-2 Monster a day habits add up quick.

For lower amounts of caffeine I was going to suggest a tea of some kind - but if it we’d like for it to carbonated then maybe Kombucha?

scytale ,

Ginger Ale. 0% caffeine. There’s also sugar-free versions.

Protoknuckles ,

Target’s got a caffeinated Seltzer I am all about. They have a few fruit flavors, then a few sods mimicking flavors.
