I don't add anything to my water for the simple reason that I use it for things besides drinking. I might dampen a bit of cloth to wipe salt from around the eyes, pour some over my head, or splash some on my face for an instant cool, or use it for emergency 1st aid.
So, other than actually finding plain water to be more thirst quenching than flavored water, I still have reasons to keep the water and electrolytes separate until consumed.
But, I don't claim that my approach is somehow better or smarter, just that it's my preference, and invite anyone to do whatever works for them EXCEPT, that if you come upon me cut and bleeding in the road, please don't wash my injuries with your adulterated water.
