Top 10: Types of Water January 8, 2024 — by Florence Wei Graphic by Florence WeiA bottle of #1 water. There are so many forms of water out there. So which one is the best? 10. Water fountain water Those fountains feel like blessings when I haven’t drank water in the past few hours. Still, I tend to avoid them for sanitation purposes. 9. Sugar water Sweetness is good in small doses, but when I take a sip of sugar water, I can’t even taste anything else. It’s best we leave this drink to the hummingbirds. 8. Sparkling water It’s the liquid form of pop rocks! 7. Infused water Infused water is not only refreshing, but it also highlights bright flavors of coolness, tanginess, and sweetness. 6. Hot water There’s something cozy about drinking hot water. When it is cold in the winter, a mug of hot water will do the trick. 5. Ice It’s such a solid option. Water tastes pretty nice when it’s in perfect cubes and crunchy. Perhaps it’s a sign that I have an iron deficiency, but I don’t care. I’m crunching away. 4. Tap water It’s basic, but it’s good stuff in most cases. 3. Tonic water It’s slightly fruity and sparkling — perfect in almost every way — except for the cost. 2. Iced water Iced water is a game changer. A single drink makes me energized and ready to go. 1. Mineral water (late at night) You’re missing out if you haven’t felt the euphoria of downing an entire bottle of mineral water at 3 a.m. Tags: top10, water 6 views this weekAbout the contributorsFlorence WeiFlorence Wei, Class of '26, is a reporter and art director for the 2023-2024 school year.
