What drinks cause kidney stones?

My uncle had kidney stones recently, and he was told to be careful with his diet, including drinks. What drinks are known to cause kidney stones?

Honestly, at this point, if it's not black coffee, I'm probably not drinking it. But yeah, I hear those sugary sodas and even some 'healthy' fruit juices can be bad. And here I was thinking my constant caffeine intake was my only problem! Ugh, can't win.

Yaar, so much misinformation online about kidney stones. Don't just blindly follow what you read on random blogs. For something like this, you need to consult a nephrologist. They'll tell you what's actually an issue for *your* specific case, not some general list that might not apply.

Oh god, I've been so worried about this lately. My aunt had kidney stones and it was so painful. Is it true that too much tea can also cause them? I drink like 3-4 cups a day. Anyone else get anxious about this?

Listen, I ignored mild pain in my side for months thinking it was just gas or muscle pull. Ended up in excruciating pain with a kidney stone. My doctor told me high oxalate drinks like excessive iced tea and sugary colas contribute. Don't ignore any symptoms and definitely get checked if you're concerned. It's not worth the pain.

Bete, humare zamane mein kehte the zyada thanda paani aur sharbat achhe nahi hote. Ab toh log bohot tarah ke fizzy drinks peete hain. Wo toh pakka achhe nahi hote. Best hai saaf paani piyo aur kadi patta paani mein daal ke piyo, suna hai achha hota hai, par doctor se puchh lena.

Haan, log bolte hain bohot zyada soft drinks, cola-type stuff. Aur woh jo packed juice aate hain na, unmein bhi bohot sugar hota hai. Mere friend ko hua tha toh doc ne bola tha 'cold drinks' bilkul band karo. Best to drink plain water only.
