Any other non water drinkers out there?

NO. I skip the lemon or lime.

You should try it with lime or lemon.

I don't really like to admit it because water is so beneficial to the body but like you, I'm not a fan of water. One day, while talking to a customer, she showed me a drink called ICE. I don't know if you've heard of it but it's usually in grocery stores (very hard to find in convenience stores) and it's about $1 each. I tried it, and loved it right away. It's just sparkling water with flavor, no calories or fat. Now, my children tried it and constantly asks for them. I must say, I am very impressed with this water so I do drink a lot of it, plus it comes in tasty flavors. It's a godsend for my family.

Beer. It's mostly water.

No, there is no substitute for water. Water is water. Try it super cold, try it luke warm. See which you prefer. You can drink it as decaf green tea, if you like the taste. Adding flavors (like Mio or Crystal Light) is better than nothing if it gets the water into you, but those contain weird, fake, artificial sweeteners that aren't necessarily good for you. But again, if it gets you to drink it, go for it. We have to choose our 'battles'. Some people will say coffee counts, or anything non caffeinated - I dont agree. Water is water. I try to drink 100 oz a day, it helps keep me full, it does wonders for your muscles, and it helps keep everything in your body movin' - nice and lubed! haha! It's also good for skin and hair.
Anyhow- maybe try some other type of flavorings -Cucumber water is awesome!Add several think slices to a pitcher in the fridge... so refreshing. Or watermelon - add some chunks in the bottom of a pitcher, muddle it up... this can be done with any type of berries. And then the other option is to try to eat more fruits and veggies that are high in water (again, cucumber, watermelon, lettuces)... those all contain a nice amount of water naturally.
Hope this helps a bit.... now go drink some water! haha!

Happy to see that I'm not alone in my extreme dislike in the taste of water. Like another poster, I find that Crystal light or diet snapple tea mix helps loads in getting me to hydrate myself.

The only time I drink water is my bath water after bath time when I'm super clean!

Dudes, water has no "taste" ... seriously. It's. water.

I dislike drinking water straight from the tap or room temperate water. I always have to fill the glass with ice or have a bottle pre-filled in the fridge. I can only really drink water if its ice cold.

I'd be careful with this drink, it looks like it contains sugars and artificial sweeteners, definitely not a good replacement for water! The healthiest bet would be to drink green or white tea (aka Qi tea), sparkling non flavoured water: you could add a dash of berry juice to this or any natural flavoured tea (e.g. raspberry, orange, lemon, blackcurrant, pomegranate, the flavours are endless) that is preferably decaffeinated. At the end of the day there is no true substitute for water, your body needs it, but the less you can add to it to get you drinking more the better.

I have a similar problem but mine is that I forget to drink water! I get so caught up in life and work that I find my throat drying up and realise I haven't had a sip of water for hours. I try fix this by always carrying water with me, drinking it whenever I look at the bottle, asking for it when I'm eating out and drinking lots of green tea at work. Good luck!

At first I had a lot of trouble getting my water in, but I kept at it and eventually it became easier. There were times where I felt like I was forcing it down and it kind of gagged me, so I started just working small sips in as often as I could. Now I get my 64 ounces in easy, and usually go well over that most days.

I started by using the distilled water from work

DO NOT DRINK DISTILLED WATER. :noway: :noway: :noway:
IT IS VERY BAD FOR YOU.

I am purposely SHOUTING here, because IT IS DANGEROUS!!!

ONCE MORE, NO NO NO TO DISTILLED WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You cereal?

Super cereal.

It definitely IS dangerous, and can leach the minerals from your bones.

Distilled water is fantastic for using in your steam iron. It is NOT safe to consume.

Dudes, water has no "taste" ... seriously. It's. water.

Drink tap water, Dasani, Sam's Club and Zephyrhills and tell me they all taste the same.

um, yeah. distilled water? it ain't for drinking.

why? well, it is free from minerals. (good things, like calcium, magnesium, iron ... ) so it is able to absorb pretty much anything. you know what it absorbs when it comes into contact with air? carbon dioxide. this makes it acidic. so, the more you drink, the more acidity builds up and the more minerals are pulled from your body.
