  • Does anyone drink seltzer?

    By seltzer, I mean carbonated but not sweetened. Club soda is one example.

    I am encountering them more and more often but I never understood the attraction. Since they seem to used extensively as bar mixers, I guess the point is a dry drink.

    I think the point is to get some fizz without adding any taste to the booze.

    I do not drink straight seltzer. Sometimes a flavored one; lime, orange, berry but not often.

    I do drink tonic and lime fairly often.

      If you include perrier or san pelegrino water, then yes, occasionally. I find it a nice alternative to drinking tap water.
      It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

        Where you live they are bar mixers - where I live Seltzer is a drink. We drink it all the time.

                  Are you talking about this?



                  I found it unappetizing, but it was wildly popular among some at my previous place of work.

                    Some people will only drink La Croix which is why it's 60% more expensive than any other brand.

                        That is one brand. There are also mildly alcoholic versions, eg Seagrams Spiked Seltzer.
