Do have suggestions?

I don't know a complete detailed list, but off the top of my head:

coffee, tea, juice, any milk and nut juice, watermelon (any melon I think), pineapple, cucumber, celery, peaches, apricots, apples, cherries, pears, bananas, tomato, cabbage, lettuce, peppers, carrots, potatoes, grapes, any soup, any broth, chicken, any drink that uses water as a base (a flavor enhancer, Kool-Aid, Gatorade), smoothies, hot chocolate, soda pop (Pepsi, Coke, 7-Up, etc.).

I enjoy marking it on either my fitbit, 21 day fix or MFP apps. I get satisfaction over checking off ticky boxes

I drink a lot of sparkling water because I love love love soda... but am trying to skip the calories and artificial sweeteners. Some times I'll mash up a couple raspberries/strawberries/lemon/lime/etc. and add it to the water so there's a bit of "flavour". Also, I cannot drink chlorinated water. It has to be filtered. For some reason, chlorinated water makes me feel nauseated if I drink too much of it, or drink it too fast.

I got a nice glass that fits my hand very well. I fill it first thing in the morning and carry it with me everywhere.
I sip from it constantly. It saves having to down a whole glass at once. That's just nasty. As soon as it's empty I refill it. If it's always with you it isn't forgotten. I add a spritz of ReaLemon. Until I started that I barely drank anything. I am often surprised to find it needs refilling. Took me some time to remeber to carry it. (p.s.) Your body does get used to it and after awhile you don't have to run to the bathroom as often.

I've been drinking a lot more water since I purchased a glass water bottle. It seems to taste better than water from my plastic bottle.

I wonder if anyone could give me suggestions i struggle when it comes to drinking water, i only have 1 working kidney and as a child i was made to drink it but like a rebel the day i left home i decided no more water because i HATE it but i now have grown up (well a little) lol i know i am dehydrated and i know how important it is for the body But i still hate it, i will now drink it but i do myself a cold bottle of water and forget to drink it, i wondered if anyone has any ideas how i can remember to drink it or any ways to make it tast better or any hints or tips as i usually only have 4 cups of tea a day, and i know its not enough and tea also dehydrates you any advice would be great

Drink sparkling water.. it has great flavor.
I also add spenda to water

yea I love the lime-flavored Perrier cans you can get in the soda isle

but they are expensive as *kitten*

WHY do the big bottles only come in the lemon flavor? like...*kitten*

Tea doesn't dehydrate you. The mild dehydrating effects of caffeine are overcome by the fact that tea is 99.999% water. Tea is ultimately hydrating.

I drink room temp water

you can suck down 20 oz of it in like 10 seconds

At restaurants I ask, 'Water- No ice' because I can down it a lot faster. My buddy used to harass me about it, now he's the first to ask the waitress for 'Water- No ice' for the same reason.

Me too! Too cold water is much harder for me to drink quickly. I also keep my filtered pitcher on the counter near the sink and find I drink much more water since not storing it in the fridge.

Try adding lemons or strawberries to it.

I add one lemon (splitted) and cucumber slices to a gallon pitcher of plain water and keep it in the fridge. It is great in the summer.

Cheers

Ooh, that sounds tasty. I do lemon water but I've never tried adding watermelon before. Mmm.
