    Try Nutrilite Twist tubes. They flavor the water but also have health benefits, like Raspberry is for joint health, strawberry kiwi is for immunity, and citrus mango has 2 servings of fruits & veggies.
    I put them in water, smoothies, seltzer water. So good!

    I like the crystal light on the go mix ins. Only 10 calories per packet & there's a ton of flavors. My favorites are the lemon tea, peach tea & raspberry lemonade.

    Mint....fresh mint. Or just add ice. I don't dislike the taste of water but sometimes I just can't drink anymore or I feel a little queasy drinking it,esp if I am trying to drink a lot and I find that just adding ice helps a lot.

    Mio with sodium free seltzer is great! It's like drinking a fruit soda....with no calories. One bottle of seltzer is 4 of your daily 8 glass requirement!!

    Cucumber with Mint
    ANY citrus fruit
    I like to drop berries or apple chunks at the bottom and make those the "completing the glass" treat
    Ginger
    Basil and Lime (even add cucumber too)

    Also, who said your water consumption had to be cold?
    Try adding hot water to any citrus fruit or ginger
    Herbal (non-caffeinated) Teas also count toward your water consumption

    Happy drinking

    Tablespoon of honey. Makes it look like you got some nasty water out of a random ditch somewhere, but it tastes good. :-)

    Elderflower cordial is divine.... I'd love to try some of those flavored tea bags or Mio but in Ireland these things are virtually non existent!

    I wish there was a version of Mio that didn't have artificial sweeteners. :(

    I drink a lot of herbal tea. I like the Good Earth kind especially.

    I also drink a lot of water. I think it tastes a lot better if it is filtered or let sit so the chlorine taste goes away.

    ^ love these! Unfortunately, can't do aspartame sweeteners anymore = headaches. Why do so many colas still do aspartame, when so many people get headaches from it? Splenda, people! LOL

    Ran across this article today: http://www.discovergoodnutrition.com/2012/09/plain-water-get-your-8-glasses-a-day/ Very good info: more than water counts!!!

    I wish there was an extra nutritient "slot" for drinks so we could track drinks and calories without have to add 'water' at the bottom. I've already taken up all my slots diving AM and PM snacks. : (

    I'd suggest learning to like water. It's such a basic part of our needs that I can't imagine not liking it unless you've drank nothing but sugary drinks all your life. I'm not saying that diet sodas, or tea, or coffee, etc. can't make up for not drinking water, they can. Just a bit surprised by the number of people who claim they don't like water.
