Sodastream
I have always had a problem. I don't like water. I don't drink enough of it.
This is a lifelong habit. But I have broken it. I use Sodastream.
Sodastream turns refrigerated water into carbonated water. If you filter your water, as I do, the effect is great.
Some people drink sodas with sugar, i.e., high fructose corn syrup. They gain weight. Others drink fructose-free sodas, meaning Aspartame. I try to avoid Aspartame.
I have found that the carbonation fizz is what I like, not the taste.
So, when I take a break -- usually in between articles -- I treat myself to a soda.
You can often buy Sodastream units on sale.
I recommend buying two of the carbon dioxide canisters. A 60-liter unit costs $30 at Staples or $40 at Walmart. Do a Web search.
