haha the two alternatives I have used were Vanilla Coke once, and Iced Tea another time. I really don't recommend either of these options, it makes for a disappointing sesh.
I've used fruit punch gatorade before and I think it was nice. I think I added ice as well. Can't remember that well though, it has been almost a year since I've smoked cannabis.
When i wanted to try something different i used food flavoring in water just got really sticky and stunk of strawberry weed but gash
just use water or ice bongs imo
Whenever I run out of water or don't wanna take the time to take the bong to the faucet I usually just use whatever is available. But I make sure I drink whatever I put in there as soon as I am done smoking so when I put like soda or fruit juice in there it won't muck up my bong and i've also been told some amount of the cannabanoids are absorbed in the liquid so drinking it afterwards gives your high a little boost but i'm not too sure about this. What I LIKE to do is make an alcoholic drink and use this as my bong water and then drink the bong water multiple times through out each session to multitask -u- Works pretty well and doubly so if the whole "CBC being absorbed in bong water and then being psychoactive once ingested" thing is actually true.
Snow was my favorite. Cools the smoke and cleans it very well at the same time. Little bit of water in the bottom filled with chunks of snow, then snow all the way up to the mouth piece.
Chloroform or amyl nitrite. Just kidding, do not use them!
I've used ice.I have wondered if there's some kind of substance that can be used in place of or in the water.Maybe something nontoxic and nonflammable, might even have properties that absorb more tar. But I can't think of any.
There are diffuser stones that increase the surface area of the smoke so it's filtered threw the water better. Some are made for bongs, others for aquariums. I've seen glass beads or marbles used too.
Hydrogen peroxide, in the brown bottle low concentration will absorb more tar compared to thc than water. It also breaks down into water and oxygen so you get extra oxygen in your hits.

^ Don't used chipped ice, I heard a story where a guy used that and inhaled some of the ice and it cut up his throat and had to go to the hospital to fix his bleeding lungs...
A bong filled all the way up with regular ice and a bit of water is much better for cooling down hits
Me and some friends were toking outside during winter and we packed ice into our zong and because it is shaped like a Z, snow got blocked in the corners and it filtered and cooled the smoke so incredibly well:D and at one point as it melted it was perculating. When winter comes around y'all should try snow!!!
