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.
I think OP knows exactly what they mean, I think if you asked a five year old they’d know what they mean.
Yet for some reason, some people are completely missing the point of a very simple question which boils down to “if you couldn’t drink regular water, what would you have instead”…
And yet the main answer in this thread is “tea” which is clearly just water with leaves in it. Why is that different than water with lemons in it? Just because you didn’t have a problem with the question doesn’t mean the question doesn’t have major problems. You just didn’t notice the problems.
