It is advised that you mix distilled water with filtered water, 1:1 ratio.
Then you are safe from many illnesses.

How about if you freeze the water and mix it with scotch, 1:1 ?

Good idea! Ethanol is a great disinfectant. Best to add it to your water to ensure you kill any germs missed at any other stage of the purification process!

Does anyone know if the water astronauts drink from fuel cells is actually as pure as distilled water or if they add stuff to it before consumption?

Gokul, is that de-I water any more acidic than soda? Soda is really acidic!

Water + CO2 = carbonic acid, which is a very weak acid...certainly much weaker than many sodas, which are downright corrosive.

The "hardness" of water is defined by the amount of "polyvalent cations" present in the water (i.e., the amount of salts like calcium or magnesium carbonate). "Hard" water has more of that stuff dissolved in it and "soft" water has less. There's a limited number of health studies available about drinking hard vs. soft water. (maybe I can discuss a few when I get more time)
