Diluting drinks like this

[AuntGinny]

Since the sugar tax I'm finding drinks much fizzier. The low and no sugar versions seem to be much more carbonated. I've started topping up my drinks with still water. AIBU or does anybody else do this?

I've not noticed it but dilute your drinks however you like. How can it possibly be unreasonable to dilute your own drinks if that's how you like them?

I don't, but YANBU if you prefer it. After all, it's entirely normal to use a sparkling mixer with something still such as orange juice, wine or spirits.

Sorry should have said, sometimes I give it to my kids if they ask for some because I forget I've already topped the bottle up in the fridge. They only get it as a treat not regularly. I would not give it to adults diluted. I do dilute my fruit juice too. I didn't used to with fizzy, but other than red Coca Cola all the drinks taste different and fizzier these days. If you saw someone doing this in the pub say would you think it was really odd?

I wouldn't take any notice, would you?

I often let my fizzy drinks down with a bottle of carbonated water. Much more refreshing

I mean, probably if I noticed, but I cannot imagine how I would.

I think I would feel foolish topping it up myself so maybe will just ask at The bar or ask for extra ice.

I can't say I really notice what other people do with their drinks in the pub

I like to add a lot of ice and some lemon

Maybe that's my problem that I don't just have an ice tray maker! Makes an awful lot of sense instead of me imagining topping my fizzy drinks up with a handbag sized Evian bottle like smuggled in vodka. I used to drink wine spritzers, but don't drink wine anymore, but yes ice is so obviously the answer I don't know why I couldn't think of that
