I dont like water..... :\

I think plain water is probably best for us- but if you don't drink plain water, then water with the crystal light is definately better, I think.    I do a lot of tea without sweetner.

I wouldn't worry about the 40 calories - although it does all add up.  I think about my calcium chews in this way - they have like 25 calories a serving X 3 a day - that's a whole snack!
