A member asked:
I only drink mineral water, because tap water tastes bad. its fairly alkaline(atleast 7,4 ph).i usually drink 4 liter a day. can it be bad for health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not.: although you didn't tell us exactly what brand of water you're drinking, it is probably okay. The minerals and pH of the water will be unlikely to harm you. It is good to drink plenty of water, within reason, with a good goal being that you never feel thirsty and your urine is colorless or light yellow. Stay healthy!
