Vitamin water

[LadyCook61]

What do you think of the Vitamin Water ? Do you think it is worth buying ?
I don't like plain water, we have well water, and it has no taste. I need to drink more water .

The HowStuffWorks site concludes that it's not worth the calories: Howstuffworks "How Vitaminwater Works" It has a lot of sugar in it.

The recommended amount of water people should ingest in a day includes all liquids - coffee, milk, juice, etc. If you don't like plain water, add lemon or lime juice or some flavoring you like. HTH.

I buy most things unadulterated. If I want water and vitamins, I take both. If I pay for one, I don't want the other.
If I want Pepsi with lemon, I want to add my own lemon.
I make my own iced tea, lemonade, etc.
I have enough time and enough desire to pay better attention to these things than perhaps someone with children, or 70 hour work week.
But for those who have to, I don't see why not. Are the dosages a false sense of security though? Do you know what daily requirements for you are? Are you getting more than you need and paying more for it and just (excuse me) peeing them out.

As I understand it, also: the FDA doesn't quantify vitamins.
Are they top quality? Natural? From a reliable source, as in USA - or some 3rd world country with chemicals, etc added?
Now you have me thinking about something I never worried about before. IIIEEEE!!!

I like some flavors very much. Blueberry Pomegranite and Apple Raspberry.

But I drink a lot of Smar****er whan I play tennis, which is made by the same people, basically electrolyte-enhanced plain water. Target runs sales of it quite often.

Target sells it for $1 a liter bottle.

I'm basically anti bottled water but like to drink this when I am exercising a lot.
