What liquids can you drink besides water?
ok I was thinking of all the chemicals that are liquid at room temperature and which you can drink without it killing you. Most were ultimately water, juice or sap for example are only in a liquid state because of the water in them. So I was trying to think of non-water examples. Only one I could think of was alcohol but thats arguable since enough of that will still kill you.
Guys got any others?

Bromine, iodine, various oils (vegetable oil and such), to name a few.

Water is life, for sure.
Isn't bromine too toxic for consumption?
I've used iodine to help clean up water while out hiking and junk, but I don't think I'd want to just drink it by itself, either.

did not know about bromine, but it doesn't take much iodine to make you very ill, or kill you

If drinking too much of something invalidates it, then water is also invalidated, as you can die from drinking too much.
Admittedly it's a stupid amount of 'too much', but the arguement can exist. So you'd need to decide what qualifies as a 'drinkable amount'. how does "1 cup" sound?

yes but reverse is true, small amount of anything is non-fatal. you need to have a cut off point. Like a shot glass worth

Silicone Oil would work, as it wouldn't break down in the body and pass through.
The stuff in non-toxic glow sticks gets mixed in alcoholic drinks all the time, so I assume it's fine too. [It also makes your pee glow]

See, I was assuming we'd use common sense and go with a typical amount of something to drink, like a glass or a pitcher (e.g. beer), so we wouldn't have to sit around and explicate the extremes on either end.
But I guess that's silly -- let's define exact volumes! I did not know that about silicon oil. It just flys through you? Like a White Castle burger?
