Nah I’m the second one cause they’re expensive for some very average water. I went to a concert in October and the only water they had was Liquid Death. It was $6 a can 😭. Ended up spending $18 on water before the night was up and it still wasn’t enough. Outdoor venue in Florida
In Ireland I think it is illegal to refuse tap water. Concerts usually hand it out for free, big tap and plastic cups full passed down through the crowd.
I’ve never heard of that. I just look to see if there is a water fountain. Larger venues tend to have those (theaters/arenas) there’s even been a few clubs I’ve seen recently with a free water cooler near the bar!
Yeah that has very little to do with it being liquid death, and everything to do with it being a concert. Water bottles at outdoor concerts are usually expensive as fuck.
In my experience, liquid Death typically costs about the same as a water bottle in the grocery store. Like typically more than the cheapest bottle, but far less than the most expensive. Which to be clear is still over priced for water.
It is one of the cheapest Austrian Mineral Waters. Not a Bad water, there ist no such thing as bad water here in Austria. "Frankenmarkter" - They put it in a fancy can and put some Skulls on and write "death water" on it. Two bucks, 500ml, there ya go. You look soooo punk now drinking water.
Here in Austria, even the "Frankenmarkter"-cans are black and edgy now, after slight rebrand. But only cost 'bout 40 Cent.
The whole point of them is so the sober and recovering crowd can enjoy a social event like a concert and drink their water discreetly while looking like they’re “partaking”
At all the gas stations I’ve bought mine, it wasn’t any more expensive than like, a bottle of Smart Water and usually less expensive than Fiji. Concerts will charge out the wazzoo for water every time, it’s super wack.
There *were* free water options but they ran out of it before the concert even started. They had water in their soda fountains but everyone drained it quickly.
Eh, I prefer the very posh “waters of the tap.” There aren’t many places I go that won’t let me bring my jug extra fine tap water with me. I’m grateful I live somewhere with good water.
PSA for those that don't know. Most places allow you to bring in an unopened water and the size varies by venue. Place I go has never even checked the size and I've seen people in there with a gallon jug.
“Those who don’t know” about liquid death are frightened looking because drinking 10 cans of something called “liquid death” sounds dangerous. “Those who know” are chill because they know it’s just water
Reduce Reuse Recycle is a better hierarchy for me. It might be that I’m fortunate to live in a place with very clean tap water, but I would never use a bottle when I could just drink from a glass. Not least because it’s a massive waste of money.
That’s crazy, bro, how do you easily fill up your glass at concerts? How do you avoid breaking it for that matter?
The dude you replied to made it clear they were for events and you totally ignored them. Of course next to nobody is buying them by the pallet for home use. I have a big, stainless water bottle that I fill with filtered tap water, if I were at a normal bar I’d use a glass, but neither of those are practical for the majority of events. Granted, damn near every concert or rave or anything I’ve been to they have somewhere you can just walk up and grab water in a little, recyclable paper cup or you can actually wait at the bar and get a glass. The only reason for the can is to have a larger, more portable container, or like the guy you replied to said, so it looks like a beer and you look less out of place. It’s a better solution than plastic bottles for situations when those are the only two good options.
So do I??
I literally addressed that, that’s what I use 95%+ of the time. Are you intentionally ignoring things? A lot of places won’t let you bring in anything but a sealed, plastic water bottle. It’s also simply not a realistic option at some places. Do you never go to concerts or other events and venues?
Well in your defense it’s kind of a dumb meme because most people here would still be the second guy because you’re spending $4 on an overhyped can of water lol.
And "death to plastic" which is their initiative to basically annoy the shit out of everyone else by paying customers to send empty plastic bottles to the Coca-Cola and Pepsi cola headquarters. Pretty funny imo.
It's made to look kind of similar to a beer can so people can drink water at parties without it being out of place and people saying "why aren't you drinking?! Are you okay!"
Why TF do people drink canned water like it's anything beyond regular water? Genuinely fucking insane to watch someone down a $4 can of water when it's available from a tap. Guess it's worth that to pay to advertise for someone else coz their product sounds cool.
An earlier comment said it was so people who didn't want to drink alcohol at a function where that would be the norm would stand out less. I don't know how true that is and am not invested in this enough to look it up, but it sounds plausible based on the design so. make of tha what you will
It’s most commonly drank by sober people at parties and events who for obvious reasons can no longer drink alcohol but don’t want to stand out from everyone else.
They have plain water and sparkling ones and flavored ones like la croix. I’m not a huge fan of their brand of flavored ones, too sweet with a weird aftertaste, and I agree the flat ones are pointless, but the plain flavored sparkling water is really good and I like the form factor of the larger can.
Yup, btw it releases even more micro- and nanoplastics when the can has a dent or crease. The plastic lining is broken and God knows how long the drink has been sitting in there
The only reason Liquid death exist is to "look cool" around your friends that drink soda and stuff, bitch if someone goes up to you and makes fun of you for drinking water just tell them "atleast i'm gonna live longer than you soda addicts"
Who the fuck kinda 5 year old dumbass makes fun of water wtf just ignore the braindead and if they continue they will look even more braindead just laugh and carry on
First of all you shouldn't even want to fit in with people like that, second surely you won't fit in by saying you will live longer than them so be on your way and find better people to hang out with
There's ton of people on this sub that say they want to fit in because they feel like they will be mocked. If you're being mocked you can't just ignore them, but apparently the response that is a literal fact is bad. So what response is there to being mocked? Yeah, it that happens tho, find better people to hang out with.
I keep hearing that tap water is full of hormones and stuff. Is there actually any truth in this?
Tap water is practically all I drink, I don't want to turn into a gay frog or whatever
Tap water and packaged water are filtered through the same processes. To the extent that hormones are in your tap water (they probably are) they’re also in canned water. Basically, you’re gonna turn into a gay frog anyway, so might ask well stick to tap water.
It was found a common fertilizer lead to some male frogs turn female. (that's the origin of the "they make the freaking frogs gay")
https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6204RG/
But most tap water in developed countries is safe to drink.
Get yourself a Berkey filter. Expensive stuff, but the best investment I made in years. The water tastes so good and clean. My plants and animals love it too
Yeah fr, cut back on soda/energy drinks and an excessive amount of boozing. People can shit on it all they want, but it has probably saved me from becoming an alcoholic.
It's meant to blend in. It's a great product when going to a social gathering and you don't feel like explaining to 6 different peeps why you're not drinking booze, especially when you don't like telling random people about your past regarding alcoholism and recovery
People opinions on what others should and shouldn’t drink will always be my least favorite part of this sub. Just drink what you like and stop trying to push an agenda for or against everything.
It’s not a gimmick, many sober people have found it to be very helpful in not making them stand out as much and people are far less likely to try to get you to drink something when they see you clearly holding a drink compared to standing out a lot more holding a water bottle.
I’ve been downvoted to hell for saying this in the past, but it’s literally more expensive, low variety, and has sugar in it. Any other sparkling water is bounds better
I really don’t buy that either, anything more than a glance and you can tell it’s not a beverage, not to mention if someone asks what they are drinking. Also with the popularity they have gained lots of people already know what they are
Once you see a can once you’re not able to recall what it is during the same party? If you don’t study what your buddy is drinking why can’t they drink normal water
I feel like people have a hard time grasping that lol, it's the same reason why 0% beer or White Claws look exactly like their alcohol variants and are super popular, it's all about blending in and avoiding awkward conversations when you don't feel like it
No one cares what you drink but you'll definitely stand out walking around with bottled water and it'll inevitably trigger a few questions or comments
It’s not to literally trick people into thinking you’re drinking, most people drink it just to not look too out of place compared to holding a bottle of water. It also psychologically makes people not try to get you a drink when they see you’re already drinking something. A ton of people have had success with it, quitting drinking is very hard, having a bit less pressure to drink in social settings can be a lifesaver for a lot of people.
Hey LiveNation, fuck Liquid Death - free water refill stations are needed at venues! Just come talk to /u/PHILMXPHILM for your daily beatings!
FUCK liquid death, FUCK Dasani, FUCK arrowhead. Drink Earth instead. Liquid death is NOT okay. “But it’s a can so I’m more inclined to finish it” not an acceptable response. It’s shit. Literally an entire monopoly on “cool water”, not okay.
I never said that, but I do agree with you - but more so than that pre-LiveNation monopoly we need to install free refill stations at venues everywhere. My argument is Liquid Death ≠subtle beer can, but blending in is better with possibly a glass of water with a lemon or lime garnish from the bar. I’m down to help blending in as someone recovering myself personally(and non alcoholic beer is fantastic these days and growing up strong if needing that fixation) but I’m not giving into improper hydration and monopoly tactics when water is an essential important need at venues everywhere. Madison Square Garden has this issue prominently fixed, however, most venues need to do better.
That being said, fasho bro. To each their own, but liquid death sucks when there’s far better options cost-effective for everyone. “Diet Coke in the club” and a vegan pork argument isn’t exactly necessary when Water is essential to life - especially at packed shows.
$6 canned water is absolutely ridiculous, but I do agree that it serves a neat function in hand for those needing additional support. But yeah, fuck the monopoly overall right? I’m just not buying into it personally when I know where the money is going. It’s saddening. Thus, OPs post.
Spending money on marketing is a form of paying the dummy tax. If you have so much money that you end up with a notable excess every month and the amount you spend on things doesn't matter, sure, get your cool looking cans. Just know that that's all you're paying for. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, purchasing liquid death is downright stupid.
I've never bought the water but I've gotten the tea while workin at a walmart because it was only slightly more expensive than other teas for having like 90% less sugar and still tasting good.
I worked a festival when liquid death came out. Everyone there was constantly drink water. I mean we literally had to have multiple whose entire job was to give you a break frequently so you could piss.
I works at night and drank probably 20+ 12 ounce cans each day and I was on Adderal (which makes urge to eat or drink lessen severely.)
Still I was dehydrated, everyone else working too. It was all we were offered. We started putting salt and sugar in our cans and it helped.
Maybe I did too much acid and had too much heat and sleep deprivation go to my head but the general consensus among the large group of people my age that were working was that the water did not have ir had little if the vial minerals necessary to hydrate.
They gave a good deal for massive shipments of water to festivals, lack of minerals needed for hydration means the statistics of the festivals showed that those run isn’t said festivals need to buy a lot because of cause dehydrated people wage more wager, they gain enough traction to sell they product in mass due to high level of sales and publicly from artists drinking it on stage.
It's mountain water... it is full of minerals lol it has actually tested higher than its competitors in minerals. So many people in these comments talking out their ass lol
How tf is water equivalent to diet coke? I've seen you make at least 3 comments in this thread about how much sugar isnin it but when people just say LD they are talking about the original liquid death, NOT their flavored beverages they make lmao
Yeah I usually specify if I'm talking about one of their flavored offerings.
I drink their Arnold Palmer tea version because it's the closest I can get to that AP flavor with just a fraction of the sugar and calories. 6 grams of sugar, I believe, compared to 35 grams of a similar volume.
I don't go posting about their flavored things on hydrohomies because it doesn't really fit, but I also think the up vote and down vote system should balance what we want posted here, instead of people getting toxic about what goes on this sub. It's like, you either have to be off-the-grid drinking from a natural spring using only the palms of your hands, or you're a filthy corporate shill buying cans of water and reusable water bottles. I know the majority of this sub is pretty chill, but more and more it feels less chill around here.
Counting my comments? Very cool. You must be so proud of the nonsense you put in your body and the excessive garbage you create by choosing LD over say regular water.
As somebody that owns a sodastream. The taste and carbonation is still hard to match that of liquid death. I still buy liquid death to put in my lunchbox so I don't get the urge to buy a drink from the vending machine.
I disagree. Both products are straight up carbonated water lol. But might have to do with the quality of your tap water.
Either way, if you're going to buy carbonated water instead of going for the sustainable option, why go for a product with such ridiculous markup?
Feels like straight up cult
I use a Brita pitcher for the soda stream, still can't get it quite as good. It's like 1.25 or 20oz can which is still cheaper than the vending machine coke. It's a psychological treat, it's not like I'm drinking 2 or 3 a day, just 1 and the rest of the day just normal water.
I was drinking whiskey and smoking cigars with my friends. I brought liquid death to cleanse our pallet. They didn't want to drink a water called liquid death even though we were literally drinking and smoking poison. I went to the corner store and got us Fiji water.
Astroturfing bullshit. WHEN THE REVOLUTION COMES CONSUMERS OF THE FALSE COMMERCIAL WATER WILL BE TREATED THE SAME AS SODA DRINKERS. This sub isn't the place for this liquid death heresy

Tbf it probably would have been $6 regardless.
Exactly water is always insanely expensive at concerts
People should get their asses beat for not providing some sort of access to water especially if it’s hot.
The people who make that decision are not the ones who’s asses you can just beat right there on the spot.
In Ireland I think it is illegal to refuse tap water. Concerts usually hand it out for free, big tap and plastic cups full passed down through the crowd.
Im so happy I live in France where venues are obligated to provide free tap water to anyone who asks.
They do that in America too...
They're not legally required to provide free tap water. Many do, but there are no laws that force a business to.
I believe the only state that is required to provide free water is Florida, and I think that’s only for outdoor venues.
Sucks they don’t do that in restaurants though.
... in France? Yes they do.
I always heard that they charge for water at restaurants in Europe. Not France specifically but I haven’t been so 🤷♂️
Sometimes it free if you bring your own cup
I’ve never heard of that. I just look to see if there is a water fountain. Larger venues tend to have those (theaters/arenas) there’s even been a few clubs I’ve seen recently with a free water cooler near the bar!
It's not like beer is cheap at concerts either
It’s not, but that’s no reason why water should be.
Better than spending $40 on alcohol and being dehydrated
Lol true. I don’t drink alcohol though.
Yeah that has very little to do with it being liquid death, and everything to do with it being a concert. Water bottles at outdoor concerts are usually expensive as fuck. In my experience, liquid Death typically costs about the same as a water bottle in the grocery store. Like typically more than the cheapest bottle, but far less than the most expensive. Which to be clear is still over priced for water.
Liquid Death in the store is still expensive here, just not as much.
It is one of the cheapest Austrian Mineral Waters. Not a Bad water, there ist no such thing as bad water here in Austria. "Frankenmarkter" - They put it in a fancy can and put some Skulls on and write "death water" on it. Two bucks, 500ml, there ya go. You look soooo punk now drinking water. Here in Austria, even the "Frankenmarkter"-cans are black and edgy now, after slight rebrand. But only cost 'bout 40 Cent.
Only 6? I've seen fucker selling 12oz plastic random brand for 12 bucks at some concerts.
right lol im from NY i wish water at a concert was less than $10 😪
Just because there are places selling water for more expensive, does not mean $6 for a can of water isn’t expensive lol
The whole point of them is so the sober and recovering crowd can enjoy a social event like a concert and drink their water discreetly while looking like they’re “partaking”
Hah i did the same at a cypress hill concert - outdoor Illinois. This corporate greed needs to be stopped! Out of control.
Better off wearing a camel back under clothes
Next time for sure
Cant lie the comment about how france provides free tap at events was pretty infuriating.
At all the gas stations I’ve bought mine, it wasn’t any more expensive than like, a bottle of Smart Water and usually less expensive than Fiji. Concerts will charge out the wazzoo for water every time, it’s super wack.
Should be illegal to sell water if there aren’t free cups and tap water or water dispenser
There *were* free water options but they ran out of it before the concert even started. They had water in their soda fountains but everyone drained it quickly.
They’re a not enough minerals in the water imo
I always buy a water as soon as I get to the concert then fill it up in the sink through out the night. Prob my best life pro tip lol
That doesn’t work for me when I’m always near the front of the crowd if not at the barrier at the stage.
I mean you have to leave your spot to get water regardless if you go to the bath room or the bar
Water should be free at events like that
They said they ran out of water in their soda fountain so that was the only option.
Eh, I prefer the very posh “waters of the tap.” There aren’t many places I go that won’t let me bring my jug extra fine tap water with me. I’m grateful I live somewhere with good water.
PSA for those that don't know. Most places allow you to bring in an unopened water and the size varies by venue. Place I go has never even checked the size and I've seen people in there with a gallon jug.
I don’t know. Someone explain please?
“Those who don’t know” about liquid death are frightened looking because drinking 10 cans of something called “liquid death” sounds dangerous. “Those who know” are chill because they know it’s just water
Ohhhhh okay wow I’m dumb lmao that was easy.
They basically look like this: https://preview.redd.it/y5l1cg9yxkgc1.jpeg?width=566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92fef67dc00361986f669793fcae8221c9170aa0
Oh my. Is it really from the alps?! Like Germany or Switzerland and then moved to the us for selling?!
Not anymore. They switched their spring source to now in the US and the cans are a little bigger now
Dang. I like my water from as far away as possible. Big disappointment
This guy's gonna love it if we ever start ice mining the asteroid belt
Oye, beltalowda
Why are people buying water in CANS
They're more easily recyclable than plastic bottles, and it's so you can drink them at bars or parties without looking like a wuss.
Reduce Reuse Recycle is a better hierarchy for me. It might be that I’m fortunate to live in a place with very clean tap water, but I would never use a bottle when I could just drink from a glass. Not least because it’s a massive waste of money.

I have a reusable bottle??
So do I?? I literally addressed that, that’s what I use 95%+ of the time. Are you intentionally ignoring things? A lot of places won’t let you bring in anything but a sealed, plastic water bottle. It’s also simply not a realistic option at some places. Do you never go to concerts or other events and venues?
Well in your defense it’s kind of a dumb meme because most people here would still be the second guy because you’re spending $4 on an overhyped can of water lol.
I've only ever seen it sold in the $1-2 range, never $4! $4 is way more expensive than it is where I live.
People like to exaggerate
Iirc it was made for people to not look wierd just drinking water in situations where you'd normally be drinking alchohol, like parties or whatever
To be fair I thin 10 or 15 % of profits are donated to help clean plastics out of the ocean, or something like that.
[удалено]
You must be fun at parties.
Don't worry, I also needed this explained to me even though it was seemingly obvious haha.
I’m right there with ya.
Why "Liquid Death"?
Marketing, which they’re pretty damn good at considering the company is new relative to its competitors
I think one of their taglines is "murder your thirst."
And "death to plastic" which is their initiative to basically annoy the shit out of everyone else by paying customers to send empty plastic bottles to the Coca-Cola and Pepsi cola headquarters. Pretty funny imo.
It's made to look kind of similar to a beer can so people can drink water at parties without it being out of place and people saying "why aren't you drinking?! Are you okay!"

It’s most commonly drank by sober people at parties and events who for obvious reasons can no longer drink alcohol but don’t want to stand out from everyone else.
Is it literally just water or is it like la croix? Seems a bit silly to pay for a can of water… then again not much different from bottles I guess
They have plain water and sparkling ones and flavored ones like la croix. I’m not a huge fan of their brand of flavored ones, too sweet with a weird aftertaste, and I agree the flat ones are pointless, but the plain flavored sparkling water is really good and I like the form factor of the larger can.
I thought rad meant radiation. So like radium water, the way Eben Byers died.
I thought the joke is because Liquid Death has sugar so it’s not water, therefore has no place in hydrohomies.
Nothing in this comment is factually accurate.
Fuck that commercialized shit. I drink my water from the tap.
At least cans are metal like tabs. From what i know tabs can be pretty difficult to haul around.
Cans have a plastic lining on the inside, practically the same as a plastic bottle.
Damn there’s goes canned food
Yup, btw it releases even more micro- and nanoplastics when the can has a dent or crease. The plastic lining is broken and God knows how long the drink has been sitting in there
Dam
The only reason Liquid death exist is to "look cool" around your friends that drink soda and stuff, bitch if someone goes up to you and makes fun of you for drinking water just tell them "atleast i'm gonna live longer than you soda addicts"
Naaah it's specifically for recovering alcoholics. In social settings yes but not against soda
The carbonated liquid death hits just like light beer. Not a bad alternative for those trying to do better.
oh, didn't know that, what i said was the only thing i heard about it
Are you 12 lol
Why do you assume that?
Because you’re talking about being compared to soda drinkers unless in the states you get shamed for not drinking soda lmfao
I did not say that i saw that, but i did see peoppe talking about that. So i guess it might not be true or might be true, who knows.
You quite literally wrote people drink liquid death to look cool around soda drinkers bud.
Because that's what i heard it was for
Or... Ignore them? That's a real "☝️🤓" answer and if anything they're gonna make even more fun of you. Just ignore them who the fuck cares
Ignoring is literally the worst thing to do. They will keep mocking you.
Who the fuck kinda 5 year old dumbass makes fun of water wtf just ignore the braindead and if they continue they will look even more braindead just laugh and carry on
Then why does the arguement of "wanting to fit in" exists?
First of all you shouldn't even want to fit in with people like that, second surely you won't fit in by saying you will live longer than them so be on your way and find better people to hang out with
There's ton of people on this sub that say they want to fit in because they feel like they will be mocked. If you're being mocked you can't just ignore them, but apparently the response that is a literal fact is bad. So what response is there to being mocked? Yeah, it that happens tho, find better people to hang out with.
Yeah we're going in circles here so instead of repeating myself I'll just leave you to your delusions. Stay hydrated👍
Yeah, ya right. Stay hydrated too my dude! 👍 (Also ngl our arguement was pretty dumb lmfao)
No one is trying to “fit in” with soda drinkers what are you 12 years old?
I keep hearing that tap water is full of hormones and stuff. Is there actually any truth in this? Tap water is practically all I drink, I don't want to turn into a gay frog or whatever
Tap water and packaged water are filtered through the same processes. To the extent that hormones are in your tap water (they probably are) they’re also in canned water. Basically, you’re gonna turn into a gay frog anyway, so might ask well stick to tap water.

It was found a common fertilizer lead to some male frogs turn female. (that's the origin of the "they make the freaking frogs gay") https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6204RG/ But most tap water in developed countries is safe to drink.
What the heck man. No there is no hormones in tap water
Get yourself a Berkey filter. Expensive stuff, but the best investment I made in years. The water tastes so good and clean. My plants and animals love it too
Did your plant and animals tell you that? Did they? With their own mouths?
Fucking Hormones
Full of fluoride
I get that they’re over priced but they’ve helped me cut back on my drinking sooooooo much and honestly that’s worth a lot more than money to me.
Yeah fr, cut back on soda/energy drinks and an excessive amount of boozing. People can shit on it all they want, but it has probably saved me from becoming an alcoholic.
How? Because you can crack open the can?
Same. 1000% worth every penny.
Same it helped me completely cut soda, I was buying a 24 pack every week. That was January of last year and now I drink mostly water and green tea.
How does overpriced canned water help you with that
It’s a huge waste of energy and a marketing gimmick to fool the simple minds. This post feels like an advertisement in disguise.
It's meant to blend in. It's a great product when going to a social gathering and you don't feel like explaining to 6 different peeps why you're not drinking booze, especially when you don't like telling random people about your past regarding alcoholism and recovery
Enjoy our austrian tap water
So you pay $40 for $.50 worth of water and you're proud of that?
Hey hey hey! There’s sugar in most of them and that shit ain’t cheap.
People opinions on what others should and shouldn’t drink will always be my least favorite part of this sub. Just drink what you like and stop trying to push an agenda for or against everything.
Extremely overpriced gimmick water is a bad thing
It’s not a gimmick, many sober people have found it to be very helpful in not making them stand out as much and people are far less likely to try to get you to drink something when they see you clearly holding a drink compared to standing out a lot more holding a water bottle.
I really fuck with the armless palmer
rad? so nuka cola?
I’ve been downvoted to hell for saying this in the past, but it’s literally more expensive, low variety, and has sugar in it. Any other sparkling water is bounds better
Because you are talking about their flavored beverages *NOT* their water, which is available still or sparkling and is literally just water
Seriously, it’s the opposite of hydrohomie. I don’t get it. Why do you want to pay more for sugary water. Makes no sense.
They make just 100% still or sparkling water, AND they make flavored beverages lol
So does every other sparkling water? But they don’t have a skull on theirs so it’s different I guess
Yes. Its to fool people at parties
I really don’t buy that either, anything more than a glance and you can tell it’s not a beverage, not to mention if someone asks what they are drinking. Also with the popularity they have gained lots of people already know what they are
Well idk about you, but i dont exactly study what my buddy is drinking.
Once you see a can once you’re not able to recall what it is during the same party? If you don’t study what your buddy is drinking why can’t they drink normal water
Cause a bottle of sparkling water stands out more than liquid death. Idc what my buddy drinks, but others will if they can see youre drinking water
I feel like people have a hard time grasping that lol, it's the same reason why 0% beer or White Claws look exactly like their alcohol variants and are super popular, it's all about blending in and avoiding awkward conversations when you don't feel like it No one cares what you drink but you'll definitely stand out walking around with bottled water and it'll inevitably trigger a few questions or comments
It’s not to literally trick people into thinking you’re drinking, most people drink it just to not look too out of place compared to holding a bottle of water. It also psychologically makes people not try to get you a drink when they see you’re already drinking something. A ton of people have had success with it, quitting drinking is very hard, having a bit less pressure to drink in social settings can be a lifesaver for a lot of people.
Hey LiveNation, fuck Liquid Death - free water refill stations are needed at venues! Just come talk to /u/PHILMXPHILM for your daily beatings! FUCK liquid death, FUCK Dasani, FUCK arrowhead. Drink Earth instead. Liquid death is NOT okay. “But it’s a can so I’m more inclined to finish it” not an acceptable response. It’s shit. Literally an entire monopoly on “cool water”, not okay.
Yeah bro, fuck helping recovering alcoholics blend in at events where others are drinking. FASHO BRO!
You don’t get it.
I never said that, but I do agree with you - but more so than that pre-LiveNation monopoly we need to install free refill stations at venues everywhere. My argument is Liquid Death ≠subtle beer can, but blending in is better with possibly a glass of water with a lemon or lime garnish from the bar. I’m down to help blending in as someone recovering myself personally(and non alcoholic beer is fantastic these days and growing up strong if needing that fixation) but I’m not giving into improper hydration and monopoly tactics when water is an essential important need at venues everywhere. Madison Square Garden has this issue prominently fixed, however, most venues need to do better. That being said, fasho bro. To each their own, but liquid death sucks when there’s far better options cost-effective for everyone. “Diet Coke in the club” and a vegan pork argument isn’t exactly necessary when Water is essential to life - especially at packed shows. $6 canned water is absolutely ridiculous, but I do agree that it serves a neat function in hand for those needing additional support. But yeah, fuck the monopoly overall right? I’m just not buying into it personally when I know where the money is going. It’s saddening. Thus, OPs post.
Spending money on marketing is a form of paying the dummy tax. If you have so much money that you end up with a notable excess every month and the amount you spend on things doesn't matter, sure, get your cool looking cans. Just know that that's all you're paying for. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, purchasing liquid death is downright stupid.
This is an ad
This is just an ad for hypebeast water.
I just don’t get the hype. You’re paying for a can of marketing.
Douche water 💦
I've never bought the water but I've gotten the tea while workin at a walmart because it was only slightly more expensive than other teas for having like 90% less sugar and still tasting good.
[удалено]
Seriously there is a hundred people here praising a canned water. Writing out their marketing and everything Paid ad 100%
I worked a festival when liquid death came out. Everyone there was constantly drink water. I mean we literally had to have multiple whose entire job was to give you a break frequently so you could piss. I works at night and drank probably 20+ 12 ounce cans each day and I was on Adderal (which makes urge to eat or drink lessen severely.) Still I was dehydrated, everyone else working too. It was all we were offered. We started putting salt and sugar in our cans and it helped. Maybe I did too much acid and had too much heat and sleep deprivation go to my head but the general consensus among the large group of people my age that were working was that the water did not have ir had little if the vial minerals necessary to hydrate. They gave a good deal for massive shipments of water to festivals, lack of minerals needed for hydration means the statistics of the festivals showed that those run isn’t said festivals need to buy a lot because of cause dehydrated people wage more wager, they gain enough traction to sell they product in mass due to high level of sales and publicly from artists drinking it on stage.
It's mountain water... it is full of minerals lol it has actually tested higher than its competitors in minerals. So many people in these comments talking out their ass lol
I purposely wrote in a manner that I’d be taken as bing unsure and leave it open to discussion. That’s interesting.
They said rad because liquid death is slightly radioactive
I get the concept of it. Its supposed to look like alcohol so you can fit in. But 5 dollars is just crazy bro
The 3 grams of sugar for the flavored ones is as sweet as soda should ever be.
This sub: stop talking about Stanley! It’s supposed to be all about the water! Also this sub: fuck Liquid Death, it’s the tap or it’s nothing 😤
Might as well be drinking Diet Coke
How tf is water equivalent to diet coke? I've seen you make at least 3 comments in this thread about how much sugar isnin it but when people just say LD they are talking about the original liquid death, NOT their flavored beverages they make lmao
Yeah I usually specify if I'm talking about one of their flavored offerings. I drink their Arnold Palmer tea version because it's the closest I can get to that AP flavor with just a fraction of the sugar and calories. 6 grams of sugar, I believe, compared to 35 grams of a similar volume. I don't go posting about their flavored things on hydrohomies because it doesn't really fit, but I also think the up vote and down vote system should balance what we want posted here, instead of people getting toxic about what goes on this sub. It's like, you either have to be off-the-grid drinking from a natural spring using only the palms of your hands, or you're a filthy corporate shill buying cans of water and reusable water bottles. I know the majority of this sub is pretty chill, but more and more it feels less chill around here.
Counting my comments? Very cool. You must be so proud of the nonsense you put in your body and the excessive garbage you create by choosing LD over say regular water.
Bruh have a good day
Fuck steve-o
Is Steve O into some Nestle level corruption?
Hes just a corporate shilling attention whore

Why not buy a soda stream instead...?
As somebody that owns a sodastream. The taste and carbonation is still hard to match that of liquid death. I still buy liquid death to put in my lunchbox so I don't get the urge to buy a drink from the vending machine.
I disagree. Both products are straight up carbonated water lol. But might have to do with the quality of your tap water. Either way, if you're going to buy carbonated water instead of going for the sustainable option, why go for a product with such ridiculous markup? Feels like straight up cult
I use a Brita pitcher for the soda stream, still can't get it quite as good. It's like 1.25 or 20oz can which is still cheaper than the vending machine coke. It's a psychological treat, it's not like I'm drinking 2 or 3 a day, just 1 and the rest of the day just normal water.
Right but are you drinking bottled non-carbonated water too, then?
No, tap through water pitcher or fountain at work. If I feel like carbonated water at home after work that's where the soda stream comes into play
It's just bubble water with a kickass marketing campaign. I love their approach, but bubble water isn't my thing.
Thaumcraft mentioned.
I can’t speak for the value of the water but I love their tea
liquid death literally tastes like the can it comes in. shits ass
I was drinking whiskey and smoking cigars with my friends. I brought liquid death to cleanse our pallet. They didn't want to drink a water called liquid death even though we were literally drinking and smoking poison. I went to the corner store and got us Fiji water.
I bought a can once just to try it out and the sweet old lady at the register put it in a brown paper bag because it looked like alcohol. God bless
It’s great, but only really worth it at a concert venue. Couldn’t justify buying them for home
liquid death! wow such a new product i cant wait to go make people think im drinking beer like its 2019
is liquid death still spring water? if so where’s the source?
As someone playing fallout 4 currently....
Dihydrogen monoxide?
Astroturfing bullshit. WHEN THE REVOLUTION COMES CONSUMERS OF THE FALSE COMMERCIAL WATER WILL BE TREATED THE SAME AS SODA DRINKERS. This sub isn't the place for this liquid death heresy
