·It's a long story, but I don't drink (or drink very little.. if I can get away with it), plain water. It started way back in my early childhood and has carried through to my present age.
To me, among other things, water has no taste or body to it (and as such, doesn't satisfy what I'm looking for). Seeing I don't drink coffee or tea (can't stand the taste), nor any type of beer or alcohol (blah), I've mostly drank juices, pop/soda (with Root Beer being my favorite), or milk.
Now that I'm a "stage 2 person" I've tried to cut down on my pop/soda (with much difficulty considering I'm a Root Beer'aholic). I have found that "fruit juices" contain sugars.. while vegetable juices go the other way when it comes to salt.
At this point I've tried to "test the waters" (had to get a pun in there somewhere) and satisfy my taste by "brewing my own". This is one of the concoctions I've come up with.
I'll take some "sodium free seltzer" (which gives it the fizz that pop/soda has) and to it I add the correct amount of sugar free low calorie flavored drink mix (such as, ie: Crystal Light, Vita Splash, etc., etc.).
It's still in the progress stage.. and I'm narrowing down the flavors I like. Do any of you, or have any of you, tried the same thing.. or do you buy the pre-bottled plain flavored water when you go shopping.
