Ok, my husband thinks I'm crazy, but I'm hoping there are others out there like me. We've lived 15 different places mostly in the USA, but also around the world (military), & w/the exception of water in a California mountain cabin, I have NEVER liked the taste of water, not even bottled/filtered. Don't like to drink it, & when I have to, I chug it like medicine. So I drink slightly sweetened ice tea to stay hydrated. Yes, I'm like the little girl, Bo, in Mel Gibson's movie "Signs." So I've admitted it...am I crazy, or are there more of you like me? :-)

    No.

    I'm sorry but your crazy.

    It's water and it's the most refreshing thing on the planet and allows plants to grow and humans to breathe.

    And YOU complain about the TASTE.

    Water is tasteless. You're imagining things. Gustatory hallucination.

    I hate water! It's horrible. I totally agree with you. I only drink it at the gym for rehydration but I can't stand it! I tend to tint the taste of mine with no added sugar squash!

    Everyone might think you're crazy - and me too now - but I am right there with you. WATER IS HORRIBLE!!

    I don't like the taste of water so I only drink it in the form of coffee or tea and, of course, there is a lot of water in the foods we eat anyway. Been doing it this way for most of my life. :smile:

    Well, in all fairness, water does have different tastes. Otherwise there wouldn't be articles on the "best" bottled water. Also if anyone's ever lived near the ocean, as well as other places, they can tell you water can have different tastes. I just seem to not like any of them.

    Some of us are very sensitive to mineral tatses especially chlorine which frankly tastes like a male body secretion :sick: I've been told I'm weird on this one for sure.

    I can only drink filtered water. Ice even leaves a residual taste that I sometimes cant stomach, but with with that being said I keep a 100oz Big Gulp filled with water every day. I use a ton of filtered ice and I put a decaf tea bag in mine to steep which has enough tannins in it to cover the taste.

    You're not alone, but it is possible to drink your water you just have to get creative.

    From a bottle... it's just horrible though. I think my problem is that it is tasteless! I need flavour!

    You're not supposed to drink saltwater.

    I drink about 4 liters a day. I'm in Oregon, though, and we have great tasting water compared to other states I've tried some water in :P
