[at-l] flavored drinks

[Pat Villeneuve <patv@falcon.cc.ukans.edu>]

Datto mentioned flavored drink mixes. If you have a drink 
bladder/hose/bite valve combo for drinking on the run, use it for water 
only. I know hikers who have put flavored drinks in them, and they 
couldn't keep mice and insects away from the bite valves. Yuck! (Don't 
know if their mixes contained sugar or sweetener.)

I use water in my "Hoser" and mix up a flavored drink in a liter bottle 
at lunch. The flavored stuff adds some variety and encourages me to 
drink.
