[ELI5] What benefit is there to drinking water of higher acidic value?

Question

On the Essentia water label, it makes a point of saying “9.5pH or high.” Why is this marketed as being nutritious?

Answer 1

It is a money grab that preys on people’s ignorance, not many folks know what pH numbers mean and even if they do they don’t know how acidity affects their bodies.

Once you drink water it goes to your stomach where the pH of your gastric acid is anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 (a relatively mild acid, about as strong as grapefruit juice) and once the water mixes with it the pH goes to equilibrium quickly.
