When I gave up soft drinks, these are what filled the void. I just can't drink plain water unless I'm very hot.

I use the liquid versions with little to no calories. I've tried most brands and a lot of flavors. I've been gravitating to the lemonades and iced tea flavors mostly.

Anybody have suggestions on brands/flavors? Any data on them being bad for you? They have to be better than absorbing all the sugars from sodas.

I use the orange Mio on occasion. Best I've found. But I'm sure I'll be growing an extra jaw or boob.

This is a problem with a lot of older people. Not saying you fall into that category. If you force yourself to drink nothing but cold water, you will likely find yourself craving it once you get hydrated.

I made a smoothie out of ice and the orange Crush enhancer. I think some vodka would make it a great summer drink.

The artificial ingredients have me slightly concerned as well. Growing a boob might not be so bad, as long as it wasn't on my back and I couldn't reach it.

I like the Mio ones. The strawberry watermelon and strawberry pineapple are my favorites.

same, I quit coke aero and these have been my drink of choice. I wonder if it's bad. I mean on one side, I'm drinking 8-10 bottles of water a day on the other I'm putting chemicals in it.

I have to be really hot to drink unflavored water.

(yes I'm fat)

I have a little container of the Kroger brand in my desk right now.

Don't trust artificial sweeteners so I never used it other than a couple of times when I first bought it.

Throw some frozen fruit into the water. Tastes great. Citrus zest is also good.

There you go, trying to make me more healthy.

Since I like the lemonade so much, I guess I could actually make lemonade. But these enhancers are sooo easy to use.

Throw in some sliced lemons and limes for something refreshing. Maybe even some mint leaves

Give em up. Drink filtered tap water and use the money you save to spend on booze.
