Try it: Borjomi water

This sparkling sensation from the Republic of Georgia is the best (in our opinion) of the Russian-style mineral water. Borjomi is heavily carbonated and slightly salty, but the don't let that turn you off. I found it surprisingly refreshing after a day at the beach, or a few hours at the banya (Russian bath) as it restores the salt that was lost from the body. And, check out how good it is for you:

"Regular consumption of Borjomi improves immunity, strengthens blood vessels and the nervous system, cleanses the organism. Possessing unique therapeutic properties, this water assists in curing bronchitis, cough and even reduces probability of caries.

Borjomi also helps fighting catarrhal diseases, mitigating febrile states at high temperature. In this case it is better to drink mineral water 20–30 minutes before meals at room temperature or slightly warmed (up to 30–40оС). The water should be warmed very carefully, on boiling-water bath only and by no means to let it boil, because when boiling it loses its healing properties. It is useful to inhale warm Borjomi. For this, pour a bottle of mineral water into boiling water, cover the head with a towel and breathe the resulting “steaming” alkaline water."

Wow! Who knew water could be that good for you?! Anyhow, see the "health" link on the website for more tips.

As for finding the stuff, you can get it at nearly any grocery store, deli, or bodega around Brighton. Feel free to try the other waters as well and let us know what your think!
