Chemically speaking, carbonated water is just plain water with carbon dioxide dissolved in it under high pressure.
It hydrates just as well as normal water, because it still contains plain H2O.
There are no additives.
It might have a slightly larger effect on erosion of teeth than normal water because it is just a little bit acidic.
The effect on the gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is little to none.
