What can I add to my water so that I drink more of it?

I was drinking about 5 glasses of sprite a day. That's like 550 empty calories a day. (That alone is about a pound a week lost without doing anything else!)

If I switch to something like Crystal Light wouldn't that be WAY better? Going from 550 calories to about 25 calories a day?

I read some stuff here about how Crystal Light isn't good for you or can cause cancer, but I am sure the lab rats they used (or even the chickens) they gave them like 50 times the amount a human would ingest, so I just can't believe that it would be worse for me then soda would be.

My eyes burn all the time, to the point I look like Im crying. It just happens randomly like 3 or 4 times a day. I dont even touch my eyes I will just be working or walking outside and it starts burning. It happens in the winter to so im not sure if its allergies. So to get to my question does this happen to anyone else and what do you think is the cause, its been happening for quite a few years and im getting tired of it. I get yearly eye exams and the Dr has never said anything to me.

I drink at least six beers a day after work to relax, and of course more on the weekends. Is that bad for my body in the long run?

So I'm wondering if one can contract an STD or HIV from having someone else's semen on the OUTSIDE of his body, meaning no anal contact is involved, such as if it gets on the penis or chest, hands, etc. I'd also like to know if washing your hands with soap and water is enough to make it safe to touch your nose, eyes, mouth, etc. again, and if not, how to make it safe.

I know cardio is a great way for losing body fat, however I get bored with that after 30 mins. I really enjoy lifting weights and at this point and time, Im not looking to bulk up, but lose fat. Im not going to stop doing cardio either. For fat burning, is it better to lift a moderate to heavy weight, or a light weight and lots of reps. Again, not really looking to bulk up at this point and time. Im concerned about my health more than anything else. Im 6'2 and 290. Diabetes runs in the family and I want to lower my risk for such diseases. I have in the last month drastically changed my eating habits as well.
