So if I'm in a Western Euopean resteraunt, how do I get water with out the fizz.
I tried for 5 days in Italy and France and could never get it. Just plain tap water.

Oh Tonic is different to soda water...soda water is basically carbonated water but tonic has quinine?? some thing anyway.

"Soda" is from "bicarbonate of soda" that was used to give drinks their fizz before direct carbonation was introduced, hence "soda water". "Pop" comes from the noise of removing the cork from a bottle of fizzy drink.... Horses for courses.

'carbonated soft drink' lol. Here in Scotland I'd just say fizzy drink I guess..though I've heard 'ginger' before. On the whole soda mixer thing I'd call that soda waterlike lime and soda or whisky and soda. Soda water has a taste to it so it's not fizzy/carbonated water and tonics different, more dry.
Rockwell - ask for mineral water without gas or whatever they say 'agua mineral no con gas' in spain I think not sure what 'still' would be in french though.
And anyone interested in irn-bru (Scotland's other national drink) should check out the article on wikipedia - priceless!
