I meant to say that she is 5 ft tall. Arguing with computer all day. Does anyone have any ideals on how to get her over the habit of thinking she always has to have something to drink? If I buy the koolade single packets, they are gone within 2 days and its the same with anything I buy her to drink.

Thanks John I'm glad too.

What about Tio? It's a no calorie drop you put in water and it tastes like Kool Aid? Maybe make it up and keep in the 'fridge?

Oh, oh! I can't resist:

If your mother's very clever
she'll make Kool-Aid in the morning
and put in the fridge
where you can get it.

So you'll never have to nag her
when she's putting on her lashes
or working on her knitting
or wake her from her nap!

Sorry. It's embarrassing how many of my brain cells are devoted to remembering old commercial jingles. My mom hated that one. I can still hear her now: "Lashes? Knitting? Nap? Is that really what people think I do all day?!? Make your own d*mn Kool-Aid!"

Back on topic: Will she drink old water? We keep a couple of Britta pitchers in the fridge and buy bottled water by the case.

Thanks guys
I have bought bottled water by the case and still the same problem, it's gone in two days. I don't mind that she drinks it, just that she goes through so much. 24 bottles should last longer.

Maybe a home cooler that uses tap water and a filter would be cheaper? And if she has to get a glass and fill it, she might waste less...
