These carbonated waters have become popular recently. "Spindrift" and the like. My guys have been drinking the stuff like it's regular water. I sat them down early in the season and told them about how the carbonation makes it dehydrating. Just found out that they have ignored me and still drink the stuff in place of real water. How do you all deal with these fake water drinks and keeping your athletes off of them?
I told my HS athletes that carbonated water is dehydrating. Refuse to listen to me and still drinking it.

There is a video online that explains it better than I can (will post if I get a chance to find it), but basically the carbonated water is acidic, and your body needs to add a massive amount of basic fluid to it to compensate so that there's a net negative fluid balance.

Luckily, your athletes are just a wee bit smarter than you are.
I just took a look at the top 20 articles that popped (not pun intended) up when I searched "Is carbonated water dehydrating?"
The overwhelming consensus is it is just as hydrating as still water.
What other nonsense have you spewing? Whatever it is, wise up quickly or they won't listen to you when you have something valid to share.

By this logic, eating a big bowl of strawberries should practically mummify you. Have you spoken with your athletes about the dangers of strawberries?

Anyway, whatever the science says, what ever happened to the respect for your teachers and coaches that my generation was taught? Sometimes coaches do get things wrong. Does that mean kids should just disregard them?

Yes. If you know something is wrong then it's wrong no matter who is telling you it's right.

This reminds me of the time I was boiling water on the stove and my wife was worried I was going to burn the water.

If one of my kids was running for you and you were on about this, yeah, I'd probably tell them to ignore you. Even if you're right about the dehydrating thing it's just way too controlling. Make your point and let them decide for themselves.
