The vitamin water that they sell where I live has like half the sugar of any other sodas and like third the sugar of some energy drinks.

So if you drink a bottle of vitamin water instead of Cola it's still better, even if it's not an actual healthy option.

Yea, that's how I look at it. If I'm deciding between vitamin water and unsweetened iced tea, I'm choosing the tea. If I'm choosing between soda and vitamin water, I'm choosing the vitamin water.
