    Instead of trying to replace water, try adding things to water. You'll still be getting the water you need but it will taste different. I hate drinking water on it's own, so I drink orange squash, lemon water, herbal teas instead, I never drink water on it's own and I'm not dehydrated etc.

    What do you mean by “healthy”?

    Not containing ten tons of sugar for example. Drinking 3L of coke per day probably isn't the healthiest thing ever.

    Diet soda, low sugar cordials, adding fruit/herbs/etc to water

    Some time I substitute coconut water for plain water. Gives me some energy and tastes good too.

    My mom has an infuser bottle where there is a section you can put fruits, any kind you like, and it infuses the flavor into you water. She loves it! I actually enjoy plain water 99% of the time, but some weeks I cycle in sparkling water (I like Bubly) and most days I have 1 can of cherry coke zero. My friend carries mio or crystal light with her to add to her water (and vodka on nights out).

    Iced tea. I really like jasmine, peach green, and Zen by Tazo (green +mint). Oh, Tazo makes a lemon pound cake tea that is amazing iced as well. Add four tea bags to pitcher of boiling water and brew 15-20min. You don’t need plain water.

    I don’t like sparkling water, not even the flavored ones. Tastes like Alka Seltzer to me. I’ve tried them all, hoping to learn to like them. Ice water is pretty much my drink of choice, along with black coffee, diet pop, and iced tea.

    Water is your only option. Add ice.

    Coke Zero Sugar served ice cold. Coffee. Decaf coffee. Diet root beer.

    I've started mixing regular green tea with ginger and Zen. That is soooo goooood.

    If you are an adult--get used to it! Seriously! I dislike the taste of water in Texas. All of the dissolved solids coupled with the water treatment to make it safe to drink add an unpleasant taste according to my palate. My solution was to filter the tap water. I recently bought a reverse osmosis system and full house filtration. BEST investment ever! Now I guzzle the water! I take RO water with me where ever I go so I have something to sip on.

    I do the same thing. Water in Fort Worth is nasty.
