Just wondering how everyone likes to drink their water..Cold, warm, room temp, hot (eww)..lol?
Do you like to add anything to it?
How much do you drink a day?

I like mine cold with lots of crushed ice, but i will settle for room temp when i don't have any ice around.
I tend to drink it plain..nothing added. Sometimes i do want some crystal light, so i add a little (rarely).
I have been trying to drink at least 2L a day (Plus Size Barbies Challenge) & it seems to be getting a little easier to drink the 2L's plus! Although the bathroom is my new best friend.

Have a good day all:drinker: & drink up!!

    I use True Lemon, True Lime or True Orange...Just a hint of flavor, but enough for me. The orange one reminds me of Tang!!!!

    I like mine cold with any type of ice being ok (keeps me from guzzling it). I try to drink 3 24 oz containers at work and then another 16 oz for dinner. I don't like any flavors in my water - not even lemon, so it is just plain. I find it works really well when I am craving a snack that is bad for me - a big drink and I am no longer so hungry for that candy bar!

    Room temp is easier on my teeth. I usually drink it plain but will ask for a slice of lemon if I go to a restaurant. I aim to drink a minimum of 6 16.9oz bottles a day.

    Slice up oranges, lemons and limes, freeze them and then use them with ice cubes. Just a hint of flavor. It is good. You can also buy frozen fruit and add those. Strawberry is delicious. I have even had it with frozen cucumbers.

    I love hot water. Nothing special in it. I know people think it sounds gross, but if you are a hot coffee or tea drinker you will like hot water. It's very calming and soothing to drink.

    I like it room temperature, actually. I can chugalug room temperature water.

    If I'm looking to quench thirst, I like it colder and usually with some drink flavoring in it. Usually sugar free Hawaiian Punch drink mixes.

    After a workout, room temperature chugable water. GULP! :drinker:

    I love it room temperature! I can't stand it cold, never tried it hot. I drink it either plan or with Great Value Walmart brand Lemonade 5 cal mix. I have tried every other brand out there and to me it is the best. If I am working out it HAS to be straight up water no flavoring or I will spew it. (sorry tmi) It took a long time for me to tolerate water, now I love it.

    I can't drink the tap water where I live, so I usually buy 2.5 liter bottles of water and drink it straight from the bottle at room temperature. No glass to clean up and it is really easy for me to track it as I usually have about a bottle a day.
