My thoughts, not yours:
1. regular coke is loaded with refined sugar, which turns to fat, and caffine, which is a diuretic - good for a headache of a certain type but not for fluid balance
2. your stomach used some pretty strong acid that trumps phosphoric acid in a NY minute
3. water is better but, as with anything, overdoing it will kill you; water will kill you if you drink too much, too fast. Also, too much will deplete your electrolite balance and make your body think it needs to conserve. This is where a hangover originates when you drink and then pee a lot. And why a (diet) coke is good for a hangover - or a cup of coffee or a cup of tea.
4. There is tons of sodium in everything processed. You only need
Everything in moderation creates a balance. That's what you're going for!
