I hate drinking tap water, but I don't mind bottled water, I know people say it's the same but I for one taste a differnce in ours.

If I'm drinking tap water I'll always drink something like orange squash but I've noticed today a pint glass of orange squash is about 150 calories (5.6 * 54/2), compared to a pint of diet coke that's about 15 cals (2.5*5.6)? O.o I couldn't believe that... 8 pints of water, then mixed would be nearly 2000 calories...

Any suggestions on something else to mix with tap water, or is it really better just to stick to bottled water then?

Thanks Steve

For tap water, you can buy the canisters of the Crystal Light - one little tub makes a pint I think. The fruit punch flavor tastes like kool-aid, lol. My kids love it. I like those Crystal Light To-Go packets, too. You just pour one packet into a 16 oz bottle of water and shake it up. There are many different flavors - fruit punch, lemonade, green tea, orange, etc. One 8-oz serving of CL is 5 calories, so a whole 16 oz bottle would only be 10 cals. Not bad.

Its funny how people are different. I actually prefer tap water over bottled...i think it has an aftertaste. But I do sometimes use those crystal light single servings, they are good!
