    drink it as herbal tea
    infuse it with fruit or herbs/mint
    add Mio or Crystal Light (lots of controversy around this some say "ONLY PURE WATER COUNTS" but I'm in the camp that says that's hogwash)
    add a splash of 100% fruit juice

    Drink tea. Or, educate yourself on how lucky you are to be in the fraction of a percent of the world who has access to clean, potable water at any point of the day. The more respect you have for clean water, the easier it might be to drink it.

    Err, if your water tastes bad, drink different water? Try adding a wee bit o' salt or lemon or lime or orange or you get the picture.

    Crystal Light is a low-calorie powdered beverage mix that offers naturally and artificially sweetened beverage options in multiple flavors.

    Add fresh fruit....raspberry, strawberry, kiwi slice, cucumber slice, blueberry, squeeze a grape, orange slice etc....something to flavor it that doesn't have chemicals and perseratives.

    As said above, I drink unsweetened tea to supplement my water intake. You can make it yourself, or there are a few bottled teas out there with no extra additives.

    Drinking unsweetened tea, flavoring your water with mio, crystal light, lemon juice or even lime juice. It all helps when you start to get bored of the plain stuff.
    I drink a ton of water and it does get a little boring so you have to change it up every so often

    :angry: Please explain how those things do not have chemicals.

    I drink tea and diet soda and use Mio in my water. I don't believe in a water-only stomach that can tell the difference between drinking water/eating something and drinking a flavored drink, so I drink whatever I want.
