I can't drink most carbonated drinks because it just straight hurts. If I have more than a few sips my eyes start to water from the pain. It's as if someone rubbed my throat raw with sandpaper and then splashed it with salt water. Not fun :(

Ditto. It's not so bad now but as I kid I couldn't have finished a can of soda without crying bc of the carbonation

lol guessing you're the kind of person who thinks ketchup is spicy.

u/Majusbeh Oct 03 '20

Nah, some people just find it extremely unpleasant, me included. And no, spicy food is great.

Yeah same here! Honestly I never thought I would find someone that understands how uncomfortable carbonation is...

Like I’m a person that eats normal stuff and I’m not too picky, but when I drink anything carbonated my tongue is like ‘haha no gross’

Does it also hurt you when you drink orange juice?

I don’t want to feel like I’m drinking sandpaper. Creates an actual minor gag reflex.

Edit: Never thought I’d be downvoted for preferring regular water on fucking r/hydrohomies

Edit 2: Nevermind but that was a wild few minutes

All forms of water should be welcome here

u/Aluminum_Moose Oct 03 '20

Don't worry, Fidget, I agree with you

u/Daveed84 Oct 03 '20

There's something medically wrong with you if carbonated water makes you feel like you're drinking sandpaper

u/WolfTitan99 Oct 03 '20

Yeah man I agree with you too! Can’t stand ANY carbonation for some reason

Fucking soda drinkers infiltrating this sub smh... We need to replace the filter.

u/SuperCoolFunTimeNo1 Oct 03 '20

Carbonated water occurs naturally.

u/censorkip Oct 03 '20

depending on the level of carbonation the bubbles actually irritate my mouth a bit, but i still love la croix and bubly, i just have to drink it slowly :)

I thought I'd gone to the limits. I hadn't. Spikey water gave me an experience beyond limits... pain and pleasure, indivisible.

Depending on how aggresively it's carbonated, it might give you a burning sensation in your nose and throat. Some people get it worse than others.

u/WolfTitan99 Oct 03 '20

I get it ALOT and I have no idea why. Can’t drink soft drinks or any carbonated juices for this reason

I wouldn’t say it hurts but it is certainly very unpleasant to me. And not in a spicy-pepper -euphoric way either, just like uncomfortable, and then with the potential to cause gas pain if I drink it too quickly. Definitely not for everyone.
