I once heard a joke about this. A old chassid who drinks only zektz und neintziker goes to the doctor for because he has a cough.
The doctor tells him he has “water on the lung.”
Chassid says, “Water? I knew it! It’s that feer percent!”

A true story, although I think it was a joke that the old chossid told about himself. His name was Reb Meir Itkin AH and he lived in Crown Heights. He was a mesirus nefesh Yid who ran black market businesses during Communist times to keep frum Yidden clothed and fed and to provide funds for clandestine yeshivos. He consumed “96” to the exclusion of all other drinks back then, too. He passed away 4 years ago, and yes, he was 96.
I was once doing 96 shots at a simcha. All of a sudden, probably from eating too much fruit to keep hydrated, my face turned red and I was warned that I had too much. Instead, knowing what happened, I took a walk around the block and a few deep breaths, and came back perfectly OK. My line was: “That four percent water got me! It isn’t filtered!”
