I've noticed that I rarely drink actual water. Is this bad? Hopefully a health nut sees this post and can provide advice.
For context, the work fridge is stocked with La Croix (aka deal water), Bais, and other sparkling waters. I drink those and coffee during the day. At home, I buy propel (sugarfree drink), protein shakes, and a few other sparkling waters. I suppose the only time I drink plain water is at the gym.

Yeah, thought it was just me. I don’t really like drinking coffee, juices, tea, and all that. Rather just drink some regular cold water. Corporate coffee obsession is one of the strangest things.
There is nothing inherently wrong with drinking flavored drinks! When I'm thirsty I find that only water really helps. The only reason this would be a problem is if you are drinking very calorie dense drinks all day which lead to a calorie surplus (gaining fat!). Hope this helps
Worth adding that coffee is fine, but the generally accepted upper limit of caffeine is half a gram/500mg
Health nut checking in - La Croix is totally fine for you, staying hydrated and drinking some type of water is way better than not, or drinking sodas instead. I only drink plain water before bed or at restaurants, sparkling water or unsweetened iced tea all day for me.
If anything the Bais and Propels are a little worse, not a fan of erythritol/stevia. I'd prefer a little bit of real sugar than those "natural" sweeteners - try to stay under 10 grams an item and only have one sweetened drink a day. But that's being picky, Bai drinks aren't derailing your diet by any means.
