WHY? That is an awful lot of fluid for an NPO status. I would think anesthesia would have a cow. I wonder what the thought process is for that?

I know I would and I would probably cancel an election C-section or other elective surgery if it was diluted with that much water/juice.

I think the thought process is on the manufacture directions it says to dilute. I'll tell you if we start dilluting it, but i doubt we will

We do not dilute, although I sometimes pour it over ice, I think it is more palatable cold. I tell people to be prepared for the taste, like liquid sweet tarts...

We do leave it in the fridge, but other than that we don't dilute it or mix with anything.
