    IIRC liquid death also has some very good policies.

    And it was originally created because drinking water isn’t cool, and musicians in bands wanted something to drink that looked like energy drinks or alcohol while staying hydrated. They mentioned bands filling empty monster cans with water as an inspiration.

      Only in America does the coolness of drinking water ever factor into anything, coca cola successfully brainwashed the entire country lol

        “Only in America” meaning the United States or the Americas or just North America?

        I’m asking because there is a city in Mexico that drinks more Coca-Cola than water.

          Yeah, but at least they have high sugar warnings on their beverages, so it’s likely nothing compared to what the US does with the only metric measured bottles available in the region (which are typically much cheaper too).

            Also they actually use sugar. The United States imports Mexican Coca-Cola.

        I think it’s more beer than coke. It’s also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don’t like alcohol but the rest do.

        Edit: maybe I should say also for alcohol rather than more for alcohol.

      I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.
