    I hate water!!!! I found if you put water(filtered or faucet) in a pitcher and let it sit in the fridge overnight, it tastes different. I have tried putting fruit in it and the taste good stuff, but I can't seem to like it. I love fridge water.

    Do what works for you.

    Add whatever you want. Count whatever you want. If it stops working or doesn't work make a change.

    Rinse. Repeat.

    If your tap water tastes funny, invest in a water filter. We have a refillable dispenser in the fridge. My sister-in-law is a bottled water snob and she was blown away by how good the water was from my dispenser.

    When my bottle gets room temperature, then I take longer, deeper drinks than if it's icy cold.

    i buy the bottled water=16 oz = 2 glasses. drink at least 3 of those a day, and i also have an additive energy powder that i had to my 4th bottle total of 8 glasses per day. for me bottle water is easier, you can take with you and drink on the go.

  • I have a 32 0z (1/4 of a gallon) water bottle with a straw and a freezer thing on the inside to keep it cold. I do add lemon sometimes. I suck it down!

    I drink tea all day! I drink lady grey or green tea and don't take milk or sugar. As far as i know the water doesn't change into anything else when i put the tea bag in, so i must be drinking water! Tea's got lots of anti-oxidants in too so it's good for you! I'm not a fizzy pop drinker anyway (gives me hicups!) and i am not a fan of fruit juice because of the calories (although i am partial to a cranberry and gin every now and again). When im exercising i drink pure water, but I actually like water. I sometimes have low calorie squash but find it doesn't quench my thirst..maybe the sugar or something?

    also another thing i sometimes make is sugar free jelly. I love it! I don't know if I should count it as water intake but i sure don't feel thirsty after a bowl!

    I generally use just a little bit of Crystal Light powder. (If you use the whole packet in a bottle like the directions say, I think it tastes NASTY. One packet probably lasts me about 3-4 bottles worth.)

    I just drink it plain sometimes, too, but I have a hard time drinking as much as I should that way.

    coffee and tea are both diuretics so you really can't count them you actually have to drink more water when you drink them.

    I have a 1 liter water bottle which is a little over 4 servings, so I know I have to fill it and drink it twice in one day. Fortunately I'm naturally a thirsty person, so I usually don't have any trouble. But if I ever make it to the end of my lunch break and my first bottle isn't empty yet, I just chug. It's not the most fun thing in the world, but it takes all of 30 seconds.

    When I get bored of plain water I use Mio or Crystal Light to flavor it. I know, I know, they're full of chemicals. It's not an every-day sort of thing, more like once or twice a week. I will second Eric when he says do not follow the instructions on the box for crystal light. 1 packet in a whole liter of water is pretty good (according to the box you should put 2 in 1 liter, which results in something that will stain your mouth and anything else that it touches, and tastes foul).

    Try Mio. It's really wonderful and it helps me get my water intake each day. I love it and they have lots of really great flavors!

    I don't drink water much either. I drink a few cups of tea a day and eat a lot of fruit since there's a lot of water in them. Whenever I eat a meal, I make sure I drink water instead of juice or soda.
