    I used to but I bought one of those big cups with a straw and it's so easy now! I don't know why it works but it does!

    Have you tried adding cucumber slices, lemon or melon to make it taste better? I like the big cups with the straws too :)

    ^this. And also, a 4 glass container with a straw definitely helps.

    It is a little annoyance but it's good for you... I keep a cold pitcher of filtered water with me so it's not too much trouble to just get up and pour some. And it's better cold :drinker:

    I think drinking out of a straw helps a lot for some reason. I also like to add a lemon to mine sometimes. Good Luck! Keep drinkin that water ;)

    I have no trouble drinking my water now that I add Mio or Dasani drops. 0 cal, fat, and carbs. I just use enough to give a hint of flavor to my water.

    So don't. I don't. Don't worry about it. That you NEED to is a myth.

    If I try to sip it out of a glass I simply can't do it. I use either one of those cups with straws (which seem to be super popular on this thread...lol) or I use a regular glass and a straw. I also keep a glass of water by my bed (also with a straw)--every time I wake up at night I take a couple slugs. Every little bit helps!

    Then don't.

    You can get plenty of water through your food intake, especially if you eat a lot of fruit and veg.

    A couple of glasses a day will be more than enough unless you are engaging in vigorous exercise. Then it's important to keep well hydrated and your electrolytes topped up to maintain peak performance.

    This is kinda weird, but what works for me is drinking out of the Smart water bottles with the 'sports' cap. The cap distributes the water so well that I just drink more. It's easy for me to drink 4 of these in a day and each one holds 23 ounces.

    Hmmm. Not so sure about that.

    Like others said, try it different ways-out of a glass, a cup, a mug, a straw, with flavors, without flavors. I used to hate water but then stated drinking only iced water and now I can drink room temp. water

    People make fun, but when it is cold I drink hot water with a splash of milk, vanilla flavoring, natural of course. Relaxing and takes the snack time urge away sometimes. :drinker:

    I put cucumber, mint and lemmon in a pitcher. Let it sit overnight. And bam, you have some mighty fine tasting water. There are all kinds of different ways to make water yummy!

    I must be weird, I love water. I drink this + milk, almost no soda ever but sometimes wine...I often get the strange look when I'm out to step parents and all I want to drink is water, but it's a way of life. I prefer to eat calories than drink them !

    There's also tea and other drinks that I count as water.

    If you don't like 8 glasses drink 9. Is it too little or to much?
