In Lieu of Water

In Congo, drinking water can be dangerous to your health.  Almost no water is safe to drink without being boiled, filtered, or treated.  So how do you survive without water?

Normally, you try to carry safe water around with you.  In some places, you can purchase bottled water.  But it must come from a reliable source.  

Another way to survive is to drink processed liquids like beer and sodas.
