Looks to me like you're on the right track, Breeze. I'm not a big water drinker myself, although we're on a well and our water is delicious. But compared with my husband, I drink very little water straight. I have also taken advantage of club soda & sometimes drink it straight, but adding your flavor of choice makes perfect sense. There's another one I really like, and that's (diet) tonic water. We keep it for DH's gin/tonics, but I like it straight. It's carbonated, sorta sweet & has just a little "bite".
Most of the flavors I add to my water are in the tea arena - some herbals, some not . . . green tea, peach tea, mandarin orange spice tea.
Staying hydrated is a big deal and I have to work on it. I think as we age, it becomes even more important, since other developments like constipation, etc., can hinge on whether we're getting enough fluids.
But I don't buy water in a bottle - not even the flavored ones.
