Have you tried adding lemon juice to plain water?
I do it for the taste when our town water is over chlorinated (certain times of year), but I’ve heard that it helps prevent kidney stones as well.

My nephrologist said me drinking 1-3 gallons of iced, and hot, tea per day is fine. The only time it becomes an issue is when you have have extremely concentrated black tea. Even then you would have to be drinking a lot of it, like a lot. He cautioned on tea mixes because those can add sodium, and of course not to use sugar, but that it would be little different than drinking water otherwise.

That’s horrible for your teeth. The odd acidic thing is fine but constantly sipping acidic things is really bad.

Yeah, I tried everything, and simply, it has to be flavored enough to taste other than water completely. However, my iced tea is black tea, with lemon, and that is it.

1-3 gallons seems insane to me. Sometimes when I get a little wild with Arizona my pee starts having crystals in it which is basically “Hey fuck off or stones are next.” I can’t imagine drinking a gallon+ a day and not being able to start a healing crystal shop with my dick.
