You are over-exaggerating the risk. People pointing that out isn't "negativity": in fact, it's the "discussion" you were looking for. The fact that you should take more care in what you post isn't other people's problem.
It doesn't appear that this is any real concern for cyclists at all (except very rarely).
It's completely fine to be aware of the issue but there isn't any reason to be overly worried.
There isn't any reason people can't (with care) hydrate only with water.
