You could also, you know, just put the drinks in the fridge instead consuming them watered down with water of questionable origin...

Part of the US is literal desert. Air conditioning was a little more than a nice thing to have in the western US tbf. Yes, healthcare would be a dream come true. Our greedy politicians will tell people "think about all those poor health insurance company employees who would lose their jobs". I say they picked the wrong careers. At least if they lose their jobs they won't bankrupt themselves with medical debt. Free healthcare is a must if our country is to heal.

nah i like it, but you do you buddy!

Other than water, I don't generally enjoy most drinks, especially sweet ones; instead I enjoy beverage-flavored ice.

Your body has to work harder to absorb cold water than it does for room temperature water. Air conditioning is where it's at tho.
