I have started carrying juice to drink on my hangs.  This is particularly
nice at the end of a long saltwater dive.  I purchase a product, called
CAPRI, at the supermarket .It's juice in a bag; as opposed to in a box.  The
bag comes with a straw glued to the side just like the box juices do.  The
advantage with the bag is that as you consume the juice the bag compresses
and no water enters the bag, as it would in a box.  It's ideal... now if they
could just get the bag to disolve once the juice was gone.
