croatian_girl room temperature water is fine to drink with aligners in place.

What's necessary to remember is, if you drink sugary or drinks with acid (most fruit drinks), and some liquid gets in your aligners ... which it will even when you use a straw, as it's going to be in your saliva ... then this liquid will be in contact with your aligner and your teeth. The result will most likely be damage to the enamel of your teeth, and damage to the aligner.

If anyone is going to find it too difficult to give up snacks and drinks, then your best choice is brackets ... on the lingual or front of your teeth.
