I drink a lot of liquid. Today, for example, I have definitely drunk over a gallon of liquids. Usually, my chief drinks are orange juice, chocolate soy milk, cherry doctor pepper, and lemonade. I try to drink water, and at work I do drink a lot of water, but at home water starts to bore me pretty quickly.
Drinking a half-gallon of orange juice in a day, however, has its disadvantages: caloric intake, for example. I’m guessing a half-gallon of OJ is at least 1000 calories.
This weekend I’m experimenting with flavored water instead. I’ve got lime, lemon, grenadine (cherry), and cranberry flavors. I’m hoping that flavored water will cost me less over time, and that I’ll stop having “drink meals.”
I’m surprised at how satisfying a glass of “lime water,” with around 1 tsp lime juice, is to drink.
