It doesn't make a lot of sense.

Does that mean that you buy sparkling water, open it, and then drink it only after the bubbles (carbon dioxide) have dissipated?

It's been years since I stopped drinking mineral water, unless it's still.

That's "still" in the sense of not carbonated.

Can you explain why it doesn't make sense? And if you can write your version.
