    I like a straw. I drink my water much more often and quickly when there is a straw in it.

    I use a 24 ounce cup that I purchased with a screw top lid and straw. I fill it up 3-4 times a day, and will definitely put me over my 8 cups a day.

    Just remember a cup is only 8 ounces. Most glasses are 12-20 ounces. You may actually be getting plenty of water already.

    Totally with a straw!! I really put water down when Im using a straw!

    I agree with everyone who says to use a straw. I think we pull a larger amount of water into our mouths with a straw than we do just tipping up a glass.

    If you're not thirsty you don't need a drink


    That's not true. Dehydration starts effecting the body quite a while before our mouth gets the signal. Sorry, desert-dweller here, avoid dehydration is a motivating force in my life. I tend to pass out/faint/vomit/shake/etc. from the heat/dehydration even when I never felt thirsty at all.

    I like to jazz up my cups of water with a green tea bag. I'm not that nuts about hot green tea but it adds a nice flavor to cool water. Leave it soak for a few minutes before you drink it.

    I know it is not the best for the enviroment but my boyfriend and I buy like 5 cases of bottled water at a time. We don't drink soda and I do but juice but I only use it in my smoothies. I suggest and this has really helped me, I always take at least 3 bottles with me to work everyday. I keep it in plain sight and I get through them faster than you think. Yesterday I finished my last bottle and I still had 2 hours of work left. I ended up buying another. I just love the way my face looks when i drink all this water. I don't have to wear as much make up as I used to.:flowerforyou:
    Hope this helps!
