Good one, let's fight! What side you taking? ;)

Honestly, I take the side that seltzer is not only a real beverage but a choshuver one at that. I cannot fathom how anyone could treat it like water (though the MB's ruling about shalach manos seems to imply the opposite.)

the status of drinks obviously can change based on time and location...

To clarify: the mishna berura says drink is ok for shlach Mono's.

I added from other poskim (that I remember, that water is not ok.) (Dunno if the mb mentions water or not.)
I saw somewhere from r eliyashiv that seltzer is like water in this context.

CBC, please reconcile the above with this:

MB says drink is fine, not water or seltzer

Something is not clear. I am not following you.

Others clarify that drink (lit. Mashkeh ;) )does not mean water.
Still others say that seltzer is the same as water and does not qualify for shlach monos.

IE. coke, Jonny walker etc are fine.

poskim say that juice is good.

I know its from inside a coconut. My question is whether its really juice like OJ or water ... Its a little different than OJ.

 Can't be worse than soda though.
