Whatever you're trying to do humans have been doing it successfully for thousands of years before the invention of sodas, mainly with water and alcohol.

Are you obese? Soda and most forms of liquid calories are bad for you. Most of your fluid intake should be from water.

It's alright. The primary ingredient in drinks is... water. You're still drinking mostly water even if you don't drink water.
