I’d personally place tea on S and water on A. Tea is far too versatile. Water is great but tea hydrates just as much and has the potential to be much much more.

I mostly agree, but I'm not drinking any sort of tea after a 10k. Water/tea/coffee is 95% of what I drink. Whole milk is 3%, and boba tea is another 1%. I'm ashamed to say I drink soda in social settings.

I’d argue though, after a 10K, you’re not drinking for any other reason than hydration and in such cases water is always the best. But I’d argue that’s an edge case unless you’re a professional athlete or live in a very hot environment

Isn't... the exclusive reason to drink... hydration?

I mean if I was an avid reader in Sweden I could get by on tea/coffee exclusively. Most people will, on occasion, need to drink water to rehydrate.

Ah yes, nothing like a nice rum and water.

You joke but I do actually drink my rum with a few drops of water

Sap from plants! Filtered water with natural nutrients. Still water, but with essential nutrients - brought to you by MFN!

I'm going to disagree. Water, alone, is about a B+, maybe an A-. If you've ever been working out really intensely, to the point where you feel nauseous and could drink a liter of water and still be desperately thirsty, then you'll understand that you also need to get electrolytes, things like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The mineral content in plain water is too low for that; a sugar-free (preferably unsweetened) sports drink is going to be better for you than water alone.

If you've ever been working out really intensely

Putting water alone back to S tier for ~100% of the population about 90-100% of the time :)

I'm with you, but for my wife's sake I'd move Dr. Pepper at least one tier above all others.

S Tier for me is Ice cold water mixed with some good peach syrrup and some lemmons.
