And no “water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber” goofs. Water isn’t allowed.
Water is the main component of any and every beverage
Elemental mercury.
You’ll drink this until the end of your life. Works the same with molten iron though.
I don’t actually thing you’d manage to swallow any of the molten iron…
You’d just need one of these:
You just need to get some into your mouth. It will do the swallowing on it’s own.
Holy fuck, what is this from?
It’s an old execution method, but they used molten lead or gold for it.
I’d like to know more. Do you know what it’s called?
though can only be ingested once
Based on the posed question and its limiting conditions, elemental mercury is a correct answer. Pure hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol would qualify, too.
If you include materials which are liquid outside of “room temperature,” things like magma and liquid nitrogen would also be correct answers.
Olive oil?
You wouldn’t live long, but compared to the other options you’re listing…
Of the liquids you listed, I think the hydrogen peroxide would be the fastest and most flame-filled death, more than the magma.
100% H2O2 is Very much unlike the 3% kind that can be purchased at a store.
It might even explode, I know shipping tanks of it can and I think that’s usually under 100%.
Not quite, actually! I mean, it’s not good for you, but once it’s in your digestive tract it mostly passes straight through rather than being absorbed. The vapor over the liquid is more dangerous, but once you’ve swallowed it that’s not a concern.
that’s exactly why this is the right answer

No I’m not.

Thank you.
Why not gallium
always gave me a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach.
True, but at the same time you know exactly what OP means with this question.
I don’t think OP knows what they mean with this question. The top two ‘serious’ answers are coffee and tea, which is just “hot water with shit mixed in”. Anything you drink is water with shit mixed in. Any answer that isn’t “water with shit mixed in” means you die, either within months or minutes. Most answers that are “water with shit mixed in” would still kill you fairly quickly if that’s all you ever drank.

Dude. Yes they have some small diuretic effects but tea and coffee are overwhelmingly hydrating. It’s just not a good idea to mainline that much caffeine for heart reasons.

A friend had to read a paper about what people called water vs. how much water made up the substance. So like pond water has less water than tea, we call one water one tea. Truly thrilling research.
do you have a link to the paper? I want to read it
This was a very long time ago; I do not.

Tea. Iced or hot, black or mint, dash of milk or honey. So many combinations.
Agreed, but in theory you wouldn’t be able to add milk (it’s a drink after all)
I prefer green tea personally, but recently found some Hawaiian Mamaki Tea, and I’m loving it.
And without water, dude’s just sucking leaves.
Dr. Pepper because I’m here for a fun time not a long time.
Fuck yaaaaa!
coffee for sure
Right? How is this even up for debate lol
Boring
But what if you’re thirsty at night?
Well, I drink decaf coffee anyway so not a problem =)

Did you just type a stutter?
N-no…
Sadly all “drinks” are made primarily from water. Otherwise they were called “chews”. You living in the US of A by any chance? Unrelated question.
All normal drinks are just flavored water, so I guess steering fluid?
Nothing like malk and a Laramie jr.
Tea
This is basically my life anyways. Other less serious and more waterless answer is gasoline.
Milk
I’ll be the strongest mf in the skeleton war
Milk, the best way to hydrate.
Milk is 70% water
Newsflash, all drinks are mostly water
Except for Bacardi 151.
Actually all drinks are 70+% water I suppose, if not, you call them not “drinks” but “stew” or “paste”, or even drier: “sand”
Edit: Nevermind, thought about 30+% alchools, having by definition less than 70% water 😅
BRAWNDO!
It’s got electrolytes!
It’s got electrolytes!
Does it have electrolytes?
Coconut water fresh from a refrigerated coconut. I would only drink that, even if I didn’t have to, if it was cheap enough.
I don’t think it’s really fair to blame the coconuts here…
cyanide. you take my water you take my life
Heavy water.
Isn’t that poisonous in large quantities?
Why can’t people stop being pedants and just answer in the spirit of OP’s question 😭
Anyway, I’d pick bubble tea I think. There’s a lot of variety and mileage I can get.
