So I know drinking 8 cups of water every day is good for you but sometimes I need something with flavor! So that got me thinking, are you able to drink plain water all the time or do you prefer flavored water? If you like flavored, tell me what brands/flavors you like!

    I mostly drink plain water now, but I used to drink Adirondack brand flavored water. Tastes good and has zero calories if I remember right.

    I LOVE plain water. I always have. When I'm in the mood to spice it up, I add a wedge of lemon and/or some fresh mint.

    I drink water at room temperature with banana strawberry flavored Crystal Light in it. I usually make up a 2.5L pitcher daily and drink it.

    I only like it at room temperature and for the most part plain. A couple times a week I'll add some lemon juice to it.

    I can only drink a limited amount of plain water. I mostly add a lemon, mint leaves, cucumber, orange peel, or add these vitamin powders from Rite Aid (pharmacy store) called Essence C - which is like a generic EmergenC...

    post workout I use Amino1 - Athlete's cocktail. Pretty awesome.

    Crystal Light and Mio for me. I like the Crystal Light Cherry-Pomegranate and Mango-Passion Fruit flavors, and the Arctic Grape Mio.

    I like it plain most of the time but if I want flavor I drop a blob of fresh pineapple or maybe a few fresh cut up strawberries in it. Today I dropped a wedge of grapefruit in my glass.

    Tap water room temperature with lime. I also love sparkling water and will drink Trader Joes that is flavored with lime. My soda substitution since I gave up soda.

    Got tired of tap water so bought a sodastream to carbonate it. I add a teaspoon of lemon, lime or rhubarb juice to it. Loving the rhubarb!

    Cold, Carbonated & Flavored.

    I'll either get the "Mio" like flavorings (GV has own brand so do many other grocery stores) but right now I'm on a kick (since its 100+ degrees here right now) ..Wal*Mart's Clear American bottled flavored water and KMart's Smart Choice I think it's called...just back from the store with another dozen bottles (blueberry, peach, strawberry, delicious). Zero everything for both of these.

    I can't get "city gin" down unless I'm dying of thirst and it's the only liquid around.

    I hate flavored water.

    I love it plain, and without ice. I prefer to just get it from the tap. I'm weird.

    Ice cold tap water. For whatever reason, room temperature and warmer just doesn't cut it for me. If I want some flavor (about 1/3 the time), I'll drop a few drops of the Mio type stuff in there (KoolAid/Safeway/Mio brands) to give it a slight hint of flavoring. For heavier flavoring, the single serve Crystal Lite/Safeway packets into a 20oz water bottle from the fridge.

    Other than that, I have a bunch of 32oz PowerAde drinks of various flavors. I'll only buy the zero calorie version as the 'regular' versions have way too heavy a flavor. The side benefit there is the lack of calories.

    I cannot possibly think of a better beverage than pure, ice cold water. I don't like it with a lemon wedge intruding or with some kind of flavored powder. Zero calorie flavors, especially. I don't really like the taste of artifical sweeteners.

    If its bottled water I like it plain. If it comes out of the tap, I add lemon or frozen fruit to it.
