    I drink my water at warm temperature in the winter. I just don't put it in the fridge.

    I do this too - I do it all year round. I drink water straight out of the tap. I hate drinking refrigerated water. Besides, it's supposed to be better for you to drink water at room temperature.

    I drink a lot of water during the summer, spring and fall. I have not had a carbonated drink in years so drinking water is not a problem for me......until I get cold. During winter, I drink a ridiculous amount of hot tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. If I use sugar, I only use splenda and I buy the no sugar hot chocolate. I am aware this is not good as I am drinking a lot of caffine. Does anybody have any good ideas as to how to drink the 8 glasses of water a day for a cold-nature individual? Any ideas would be great! Thanks!

    Why would you not count the tea, coffee and hot chocolate? It's all just flavored water. It's ridiculous how many people on MFP count water with Mio or fruit added, but run that water over a some tea leaves or coffee beans and suddenly they believfe it's no longer water. Count everything you drink that isn't alcoholic.

    That makes total sense! Thanks

    Try green tea. Some varieties are caffeine free and the others are very low in caffeine. All types boost your metabolism. So basically you are drinking water, with extra benefits if you get the caffeine free kind. :) Good luck!

    I drink a lot of decaf teas during the winter. If I use any sweetner it is pure stevia (not Truvia or Stevia in the Raw). If you like a sweeter tea you can also look for one that has licorice in it. I count all the non caffeinated water based beverages in with my plain water, but at least half my daily is still plain water.

    But can also cause other health issues for certain people.
