I don't drink much, but ever since I found the apple flavored drink powder that Walmart stocks, I've been guzzling it! I fill a gallon container with water, add a packet, and add a cup of light apple juice.

Is it bad to drink 1 large packet a day? Is it better or worse than soda?

    It's fine. It's not better or worse than soda. It's not bad or good, it's just some flavor you add to water. It's not beneficial, it's not harmful. (Unless you're allergic or something, which you must not be since you keep drinking it. :smile: )

    It contains Aspartame, I would try to stay away from it.

    There is an entire sticky thread on why aspartame isn't something you need to stay away from. There is no reason whatsoever it cannot be consumed in moderation.

    Aspartame is perfectly fine.

    I occasionally have Crystal Light as well as diet sodas. I wouldn't worry about it. :happy:

    Normally I try to drink as much plain water as possible. Once in a while, I get a hankering for the Crystal Light Mojito. It is delicious and refreshing. Crystal Light in moderation shouldn't be bad as with most things.
