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.

Bottled water will have the dissolved chlorines scrubbed, and will not have picked up anything living from the water distribution system so is shelf stable. But it's simple enough to get the chlorines out and if you don't let it sit long (like in a bottle or glass overnight) it won't have time to grow a new taste.

Julia does have a difficulty giving tap time to air; she's usually on the move, hence all the bottled water. Maybe I should consider getting her a glass carafe so she can make larger dose of lemonade or water from tap and let it sit in the window to air before she's thirsty while working. Hmm.
