announced in front of God and
everybody:

damn!! lol I have a hard time drinking water....so I was buying the
singles packages and just dumping it into a bottle of water. Guess I will
cut back. I was drinking 6 of these and about 2 bottles of just plain ole
water.

I drink a decent amount of water, but I supplement it with Crystal
Light as well. Despite what some people like to say, water is water no
matter what form it takes -- caffeine will stilmulate the bladder and
make you urinate more often and yes, your kidneys will have to filter
whatever sweeteners/flavorings, etc. are in your beverages. But water
is water, and you're still hydrating.

I can't stand to drink Crystal Light at full strength anymore, though
-- it's just too damn sweet and too strong. I mix the Pink Lemonade
flavor at 2/3 or even half strength and drink that. It's more cost
effective that way, less cloying flavor-wise, and it helps me get
plenty of water in during the day.
