    Gallon jug. Fill it and drink it daily.

    I drink water constantly throughout the day-wherever I am, I keep a bottle/cup nearby, and it makes me drink it. The flavor packets aren't necessary for me, but a lot of people say they really help if you can't get into drinking plain water.

    I never go any where without my water bottle. They have 18oz bottles at Walmart that come apart to put in ice. Love it.

    I drink through a straw. I don't know why, it sounds weird, but it helps.

    it's easier.

    I had a boston market big drink - lid and straw- not sure why but it's easier to keep drinking when you can just use the straw.

    Totally agree.

    That being said I keep a water bottle at my desk and make sure I drink and refill it as often as possible- helps me get up and walk to the bathroom more as well.

    I like COLD water....I have a 16 oz. container I keep at work and fill it up at least 3-4 times a day. At home I use a big cup with a straw and again...like it really cold. I somehow can drink more that way!

    I hate water as well, and I can't sip it throughout the day. That's why I just chug 16 oz of water 4 times a day. First thing in the morning, before lunch, before dinner, and right before bed.

    I don't hate water, but this is what I do :). I just have to make sure my water is COLD!

    As someone that used to absolutely loathe the taste of water and only drank soda and sugary drinks non-stop, I now drink well over the recommended 8 cups a day without any issue! I also hate soda now, and the very same sugary drinks I used to drink in excess are too much for me now.

    I began by buying zero-calorie flavored water, and chugging those throughout the day to wean myself off of other drinks. Once I took a liking to those and stopped craving kool-aid and soda, I found a brand or two of bottled water that I REALLY loved and always kept a stock of those in my room, and one one my person wherever I went. (Ice Mountain is still my favorite!)

    Now water and hot tea make up all of my water consumption for the day, and I actually CRAVE water. I just keep a 24 oz water bottle on me at all times, and fill it a minimum of four times a day. To prevent myself from getting bored of drinking plain water, which I often do, I keep a few of those those "on the go" crystal lite packets on me as well. I aim to drink 2 full bottles of plain water, and 2 bottles with the flavor add-ins each day, and it's worked great for me! :]

    I try to switch up flavors of the flavors I add as often as possible, to keep the flavors "fresh" for me, and alternate between Lipton green tea packets, Crystal lite flavors, and Mio and similar things.
