Don't like water

I know this sounds weird but I don't like plain old water. If I drink it first thing in the morning, it makes me feel like I'm going to be sick. I can only drink it with a flavour added. Does anyone else experience this? If so, what are you drinking?

    Don't drink it... You can get hydration from other liquids.

    Just stick with the flavors. I bought a pack of A&W root beer drink mixes for the sake of novelty recently. Not very root beery, but it tastes like a good sweet tea.

    So add flavors or drink something else. As long as you're staying hydrated you're fine.

    I don't love water. I get a crap ton of it though through tea and other drinks. And watery veg.

    If you add flavor to water you *don't* feel like you're going to be sick? Or you only feel sick if you drink it first thing in the morning.

    I drink water. Often I put something like a cucumber slice in it. Or some ginger. Or a passion tea bag. Or some lemon.
    But often, just water.

    bubble water, tea, fruit in water, or just plain water. Lots of ways to drink for hydration. Also eat fruit/veggies.

    As others have said, drink whatever you like. I rarely drink plain water, I sometimes add some sort of flavoring to water, but not often. I drink coffee, tea, milk, diet soda of some variety etc. the only thing I try to not do is drink calories. Just stay hydrated and you are good.
