    I find more than anything, a straw will make me drink more water.

    I bought a Rubbermaid water bottle that holds 32 oz (so 4 cups) and it has a straw. I will easily drink 2 of them at work and then I drink one more at home.

    I don't know what kind of magical powers a straw has, but I ALWAYS drink more water from a straw.

    ^^^ Same. I have a 20 oz tumbler with a straw/lid on it. I tried water bottles, open cups, mugs, all kinds of stuff and struggled to get the water in.. got the tumbler (from doing a corporate challenge at work) and have no problem putting away 4 (or more) a day.

    Have you ever tried herb infused water (like peppermint or lavender) or cucumber water. They are much healthier than crystal light.

    You can take fresh strawberry halves and put them in a pitcher with some water and let it sit in the fridge for about a day. It makes it nice and refreshing.

    OH, I will be doing this.

    I'm was terrible about not getting enough water also. Now I carry my special water cup that holds 24Oz with me every where I go. And I LOVE cold water, the colder the better. It helps me drink more! :smile:

    I recently made a pitcher of cucumber lemon water. I love it! I just sliced a whole lemon and half of a cucumber threw it in the pitcher with water and let it sit for about a day. It is delicious and really helps me drink water. It so refreshing too!

    I've had this at a spa. It's great. I don't have a problem drinking water, though.....so, long as it's spring water. Some brands of filtered water are okay, too. Some brands taste just like tap water though, gross.

    I don't understand how some people have such a hard time drinking water - I have even seen some people on the forums say they choke or gag when they try drinking regular water. :noway: Buuuut, if you really can't stand the "taste" of flavorless liquid, try putting in lemon, or even raspberries in a water bottle, freeze it, then let it slowly melt throughout the day. Pretty good and no chemicals.
