Is seltzer water the same as tonic water?!
Club soda is basically seltzer with sodium (salt) added.
Tonic water is club soda with quinine added, yes to fight malaria. But it does give it a distinctly different taste to either seltzer or club soda, it is used in certain drinks for that specific flavor (vodka & tonic, gin & tonic, they wouldn't be the same w/seltzer or club soda).
I wouldn't recommend drinking club soda or tonic water if you're a seltzer drinker as the norm. The sodium in both of these is not terribly useful when trying to hydrate your body, which is the reason I drink seltzer in the first place.
Answers: Seltzer water is carbonated water, sometimes with, sometimes without any flavor. Seltzer has no sugar, no added minerals or chemicals.

One is eltzer and the other tonic duh
LOL no, they are different.
Seltzer water is carbonated water; sparkling water. It's got little bubbles in it, but not much else. It's what makes pop...well pop.
Tonic water is flavored carbonated water :p It's almost unbearable to drink plain according to most people. That's why it is almost always mixed in with other drinks, such as gin, or more typical fruit drinks like lemonade. It has a bitter taste by itself.
So simply put, no they're different lol.
Tonic water contains quinine, which was used to fight malaria. The British colonialists were fond of their gin and tonics in their tropical territories.
