sodium, and usually do.

Drink what tastes refreshing to you. I find plenty of ice is most
important.

Mark,
there is a theory that has been getting stronger over the last 30
years that we are all getting 3 to 4 times the salt we should have and
1/2 to 3/4 of the potassium. With that in mind I'm not going to add
salt to anything and I'm looking for potassium. That's just what seems
to be working for me, I feel great with that combination and less good
with water only.
