The Beverage Desert

[foxgrrl]

Why is it so hard to find something to drink? Oh yeah, because I don't want to drink:

• Tap Water
• High Fructose Corn Syrup
• Aspartame (NutraSweet)
• Alcohol
• Milk
• Caffeine
• Excessive amounts of Sugar

Dear Lazyweb: What kind of drinks can I put into my body? Note that most fruit juice available in the United States is fortified with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Update:
Ok, small amounts of Caffeine and non-HFCS sugar are ok. I just don't want a lot of those most of the time.

I drink tons of decaffeinated black tea. Red tea (rooibos) is also good although I haven't had it in awhile. As a Mainer in California I need to hydrate a lot, and I like having a simple hydration option that isn't plain water.

I sniff Ringer's solution when dehydrated. I know, probably not the best solution, but if I'm at the point I'm not able to conduct enough water through my sinuses to counteract the dryness...
