@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I looked into this as well believe it or not lol. As it turns out water is always best however as long as you drink 1-2 litres of fluids in general per day you should be fine. You just need to be careful that you don't only drink something that is only 75-80% water and never drink water. If you do then you still need to drink some water to make up for it. Not overdo it like I did.

I drink 4-16oz bottles a day. 1 cup of coffee over the course of 2 days. Ginger ale if sick stomach, could take days to drink.

I have 2 cups of coffee in the morning and drink milk like a farm girl (takes me 2 -3 days to finish a gallon usually). Rest of day water. If I get tired of plain water I’ll throw in a plain seltzer water.

I drink bottled water to take my medication 4 times a day, then I have about 5 small weak coffees, and a milky hot chocolate before I go to bed , in-between them I have 2 special drinks supplied by a dietitian, I take a bottle of water to bed so I have something if I wake up with a dry mouth during the night.
