Are there any real health benefits to drinking alkaline water?

I've seen alkaline water being marketed as a healthy option, but I'm skeptical. Does it really provide any health benefits, or is it just a marketing gimmick?

I've tried alkaline water myself and did a bit of research. Some people claim it helps with acid reflux and improves hydration, but scientific evidence is still limited. For now, I think it's more about personal preference. If you like the taste and feel good drinking it, why not? But plain old water works just fine too!
