Liquid Death earns polarizing reviews: many praise its crisp still and sparkling waters, edgy tallboy cans that help non-drinkers blend in at concerts, and recyclable aluminum packaging; others call it “just water,” note metallic or flat tastes, and dislike sweetened flavors and the recent source change to Virginia. Fans highlight flavors like Mango Chainsaw, Severed Lime, Berry It Alive, and teas (Armless Palmer/Dead Billionaire), while critics cite bitter stevia aftertaste, limited carbonation, non‑resealable cans, and inconsistent flavor quality.

  • Great for diminishing peer pressure to drink at a party (for some reason it happens less if you have a can in your hand rather than a glass with water), or for a group of pre-teens/teens who want to act cooler and more grow up than their age

  • It's water. I don't get the hype behind it but I see a lot of teens drinking it. It didn't stand apart from any of the other new water brands I've purchased.

  • I love being able to drink a liquid death at a concert or party and feel like I don’t stand out without an alcoholic beverage in my hand. Their drinks aren’t overly carbonated and I love the variety of flavors as well.

  • This company has made canned water so fun! I love the design of the cans and the product is also refreshing. The flavoured waters are also pretty good and don’t leave a gross aftertaste like some do. All in all it’s just water and I’m mostly just paying for the cool can.

  • I love the tall boy can of bubble water. Berry It Alive is my favorite flavor.

  • Liquid death is marketing genius. Also, the new flavors are quite delicious! Love the mango in particular

  • I drink a lot of seltzer and this is by far my favorite. The flavors aren’t too much

  • Love this brand so much. The packaging immediately caught me off guard and I was intrigued. Yes it’s water. Yes, it’s canned. However, the marriage of both is wonderful. I feel less guilty about not using plastic and these are absolutely a conversation starter. A tad more pricey, but worth it for the environmental impact.

  • Guys it's just water. It's just a can of water so why all the hype. I don't get this one.

  • Tasty water! I was suspicious that it might taste like a can. No can taste, just tasty water.

  • It’s sparkling water in a can that looks like beer. I’m kind of obsessed. It’s genius. It’s also a great thing to have at parties for people that sober for the night ◡̈

  • THE MELON FLAVOR >>>> it’s such a cool brand!! And so yummy, but definitely pricey for sparkling water

  • Liquid Death is the go to for this sober girly!!! I love all of the new flavors they continue releasing. It spices it up compared to their plain water if I’m looking for a little treat.

  • I think the concept is interesting. For the longest time I didn't know if liquid death contained alcohol or was just water, since I would see it at bars. Because of this, I think it's a great alternative for people who don't want to drink alcohol at bars but want to have the same experience of drinking something out of a can. That said, it's >$5 for a can of water...

  • It's water in a can. I don't like the flavored versions, but other people do, so I think it is something you have to try for yourself because flavor is subjective. I like the plain water, but, I mean, it's water.
