Drinking preference: Flavored or not?

Do you prefer to drink artificially flavored water, or purified water? Because I have that bloated feeling, and belching that comes from drinking sodas, I will sometimes consume a little flavored water every now and again. Not sure how much healthier it is compared to regular sodas though.

I'm not sure how I feel about all the flavored water drinks out there. I do prefer purified water but I really don't care for bottled water. Bottled water is not as pure as everyone thinks it is. There are fewer laws restricting the bottleing of water. And if I really want flavored water I can always cut a slice of lemon into my glass.

I Love drinking cold water plain and simple (: although, adding those crystal light ten calorie packets to water on a hot day really helps my sweet tooth and quenches my thirst :) if you want something sweet then flavored water is nice, but if you juat want to be replenished plain water always hits the spot (:

I so do not enjoy flavored water so I do not buy nor drink it and don't drink soda. I would definitely go for the purified water, each and every time. I am sure that the just plain old water is better for you than the falvored water. It is pure, no additives. Water is great. Good for us and refreshing.

I usually prefer pure water but some times i feel like drinking some thing fizzy and flavored . But at the same time don't feel like consuming too much carbonated drinks since is not good i prefer drinking fresh lemonade instead , it would be better i we make it at home with out artificial flavors .i love lemon juice its sour taste is very refreshing.

When I am drinking water, I like to have it filtered through my Brita filter and then I will add lots of ice cubes to the water. I don't like to drink flavored water because the majority of the time these flavored waters have artificial sweeteners in them and that makes me sick to my stomach and I would much rather feel good. Besides that, I think that the benefits of water are far greater when you are drinking plain water than when you are drinking flavored water.

I have never realy been a fan of flavored water. It might as well be koolaid. Purified water is probably the best choice. I prefer spring waater over all of the others. It is the best tasting.

I prefer regular water. The flavored stuff just tastes like watered down juice to me. Yucky! If I need something to switch it up, I'll make some iced tea.

I drink flavored water as well as water from the faucet, whick I drink more of. I prefer to drink water out of the faucet though as I have a huge water bottle which holds 8 glasses of water, and I can drink one of those every day. Sometimes I will drink more than that if I am really thirsty. I do drink a lot of water none the less., as it is much better than soda, which I don't drink much of at all. Take care, and happy mylotting.

I really enjoy just plain ole water but I love it ice cold.. You might try maybe putting flavor in your ice cubes, like lemoade or something like that it will keep the good water taste and slowly add some flavor as it melts... as for the bloating thing Soda will make you do that definetly but it is really hard to switch from flavor to no flavor.. so I would recommend puttin flavor in your water
