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'm lucky to live in a city where we have great tapwater, but if i didn't a useful solution would be a filter bottle. mec.ca carries "Pristine" and "Katadyn" brand ones, and REI probably carries the same in the US. nothing beats the convenience of filling up at a cold tap, and a bottle with a good filter on it seems more reliable than purchasing water to my mind.

hope that helps :)
