| I try to stay well hydrated. I don't have a fear of the crystal light and use it in bulk. But I would also suggest that you can make your own in bulk with splenda. You can either employ the true lemon and splenda or use unsweetened kool-aid with splenda. You can pack it in a zip lock back with a small plastic spoon and it is nearly as convenient as those small expensive packets at a fraction of the cost. You can also modify the recipe to make it less or more sweet as desired. There are other flavors of kool-aid and similar drinks, just make sure you get the unsweetened.
I have found that I also like to use it as a very weak flavoring. I don't like too strong a taste and if you drink a half gallon of lemonade drink you will also feel like it becomes quite acidic.
Enjoy
