Why would I fight the truth?
Elemental
Water is A tier. Sparkling water is S tier.
true
I love me some cold water, but I love cold carbonated drinks EVEN MORE. Now what?
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 :)
There's approximately 0% of people that actually need Gatorade/sports drinks, unless they were stranded without water for a prolonged period.
It was developed to help football players in Florida stay hydrated for the duration of a game. The conditions there are 90%+ humidity, and 80+ degrees while wearing full pads. Then being in that state for about 5 or so hours without eating.
No one really is exposed to that level of perspiration except athletes.

All you need to do is sprinkle some salt in your water for workouts, and supplement it with milk or banana as post workout.

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