Flavored Water + Vodka = Insane??

Hello everyone! On Instagram a while back I saw a video of a girl making vodka waters with lime to help hydrate you while you drink, and I offhandedly commented on the video. I mentioned that I love doing this, and I like adding half of a flavored water packet (You know the zero sugar water enhancers, my fave is the pink starburst). I didn't really think much of it, but that comment got a lot of likes and I had several people reply to the comment rather rudely. Some were calling me insane, others were telling me not to even bother drinking vodka.

I am wholeheartedly surprised by this reaction! Instagram reels users are typically pretty mean, but I really didn't think this was too insane. And the comment about "don't bother drinking" made me roll my eyes because the drink is literally still half vodka! I'm not drinking vodka for the taste, I'm drinking it to get drunk! Anyways, I just wanted to hear yall's thoughts on this little discourse that I accidently started.
