I have decaffeinated coffee or a soda (usually caffeine-free soda) with a meal. Sometimes I've had milk or tea with a meal. I drink water all the time between meals; the only time I recall having plain water with a meal is at a vegetarian potluck. Drinking plain water with a meal is as appealing as eating baking soda.

Though the kit includes the PSP and matches, it does not have anything in it to heat water, therefore no coffee. A bottle of soda will just take up space and it does not store well, especially in a car.

Suggestions?

The link is to one of many varieties of Nuun tablets, which basically provide electrolytes and mild flavors to plain water, leaving out the excessive sugar typically present in most sport drinks. I see that they are now also offering some tablets with sugar - you can customize the calories in your water depending on the situation.

I have been using these for a while and I find them rather pleasant, definitely a fine addition to straight H2O...
