    When I'm sick of water, I usually drink diet soda or unsweetened iced tea.

    I drink iced tea or iced coffee. If you are willing to spend a few calories, there are a few diet Snapple flavors that are good.

    When not drinking alcohol I only drink water, it took awhile but I prefer it now. I have a Hydro Flask that I load with ice and water and sip on it all day. At night it is on my nightstand.

    ^^this. And black coffee. I LOVE diet coke but I'm not a daily drinker like I used to be! I'm getting to the point when I get a can or bottle of it I start wondering why I bought it about halfway through (I still like fountain diet coke though)

    My go to is Diet Coke or Sparkling Water (with water enhancer if I am super bored of water), I occasionally will have a pink lemonade or ginger beer. I drink 2-3 litres of sparkling water per day and normally have diet coke at lunchtime. Maybe try infusing your water with some different flavours to jazz it up, mint & cucumber are quite refreshing, fresh orange & rosemary, seasonal berries, etc.

    Depending on your diet restrictions my family loves fresh juice. Go get a steam juicer and a box of your favorite fruit. You can make juice and popsicles and the only ingredient will be fruit. We love blackberries and concord grapes. Once you have had straight fruit juice you will be ruined for life with the flavored water the stores call juice.

    I make flavored tea and drink it hot, cold or room temp. Love it! It gives a boost of flavor so I drink more throughout the day and a lot of teas offer health benefits- such as mint tea aids digestion. One of my favorite flavors is Lipton berry hibiscus. One of my favorite green teas is Yogi Blueberry slim life. There are so many to choose from though and I mix them up so I don't get bored. No calories :)

    I depends on what you like. I like tea. There are also a plethora of diet beverages available today.

    I like diet sodas, flavored teas, and carbonated flavored water. (Not the mineral stuff though ew!) There are sugar free (aspartame flavored) carbonated waters that taste like a lighter version of fruity sodas, and are my favorite right now. Like the Clearly Canadians they used to sell a few years back.

    I like diet sodas, sparkling water (0 calorie ones) or iced water with lemon squeezed in.

    Unsweetened iced tea is not only tasty it's dirt cheap and easy to make. Throw a few teabags in a jar or pitcher. (Take off the labels to avoid any paper taste -- hanging strings and labels out results in tea siphoning out on the fridge shelf.) Fill with tap water. Put the jar in the fridge and ignore it for several hours. It will be tea. No need to take the teabags out until you wash the jar.

    "Family-sized teabags are great for this and Luzianne tea, a southern brand, is particularly good for iced tea. They make a "cold brew" version but I just use the regular. Works fine.

    Trader Joe's was giving out samples of their pineapple juice mixed with their Island Coconut seltzer a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, I have both in my refrigerator now.

    There are so many different teas out there to try out, so it's hard to get bored on those.
