Drink quality H20

The average American goes out to eat 4 to 5 times a week (http://ucsdnutritionlink.org/articles/archives/fastfood.pdf) Think about this- if you go out 4 times a week and spend $2 on a tea or soft drink, that equals $8 per week. Over a year, you would spend $416 just on drinks! DRINK THE FREE H20! I'll admit, this is one I haven't done for very long. It truly hasn't been that hard to change. The hardest part is getting out of the habit of ordering tea (or your drink of choice) as soon as the waiter asks (it's been my habit for about 40 years). Think about this, too. The example above is for one person. If you happen to be a family of four, you could spend $1664 a year! Some of you may not like the taste of plain water so add some lemon and sweetener to it. My kids love to make their own lemonade.
