    How do people come to hate something that is the single most essential thing they must consume every day?

    My guess: marketing. When I was a kid we always drank tap water. Now marketers have convinced us that at the least, we need to have some sort of filtration device to drink tap water and that we are better off drinking it out of a bottle.

    It also speaks to our national addiction to sugar.

    I agree! I don't see how people can hate drinking water... But I find that cold water tastes fresher than room-temp water. If the water in your faucet is dirty, buy a filtration system, but I'd get used to drinking sugar-free water. You shouldn't have to rely on taste in order to stay hydrated.

    There's a lot of generic flavored waters and Vitamin Water is great!

    I hated water too. Never drank it in my 43 years of life. I grew up on soda as a child and then coffee as an adult. Two weeks ago I started with 3-10oz. water a day. I use to drink 3 coffees a day and now I'm down to 2 but I can't drink them in the car. I've replaced my coffee-in-the-car habit with water. I drink one on the way to work; one on the way home from work and one on the way to the gym. This week I'm up to 4 a day... one on the way back from the gym :)

    You will need to do what works for you - whether it be flavoring the water, making tea (heard green tea is good for weight loss?) or replacing a bad habit with it. Maybe try some of the suggestions and see what works.

    Don't think I'll ever get up to my recommended dose of water... but I'm much better than I was and I can tell from my body and how I feel that it is working. Good luck.
