    I really can't comprehend how some people don't like water. How can you not like water? It's WATER! Our life source... so strange to me.

    I really hate to drink water. I am so addicted to Pepsi, altough I have cut down to 1 or 2 cans a day. How do I get to where I can drink more water?

    crystal light?

    Drinking water out of a straw also really helps.

    YES! I drink so much more water if I have a straw vs. a plain glass!

    I am fine with water in general, but sometimes I want something more. I think the fakey sugar flavored seltzers are gross on their own, but I find if I fill a huge glass with ice and tap water and then finish it with a splash of fruit flavored seltzer (like one ounce to 16 of plain water), it tastes like something and goes down easier.

    I dislike water as well. I've started making homemade iced tea with a little oj & a little real sugar. I could drink it all day. I make a gallon about every other day with a cup of sugar & a cup of oj. It probably has too much sugar!

    A cup of sugar has almost 800 calories.

    I was drinking at least a liter of diet cola a day. Honestly I just quit - I did not look back and stopped drinking it. For the past two weeks I have had 2 small glasses, I admit it I miss it, but I am drinking the water now.

    Good luck, only you can make the difference and you can do it!!!

    Try the drink mix--you put a package of mix in 16 oz of water. It flavors the water, and MOST of them are only 10 calories for 16 oz. (Some are 30 calories.)

    Something I found this year is Crush. Do you like Crush strawberry/grape/orange? The mix tastes JUST LIKE the pop. They also have Squirt, but I'm not really a Squirt drinker. The ONLY place I have ever found the Crush drink mix is at Dollar General--and I hear they only sell it during the summers.

    Something I found last year is Hawaiian Punch. Now I grew up with Hawaiian punch drink, and I didn't like it. But I really enjoy the other flavors they make. There is Hawaiian Punch green berry rush (my fav), berry limeade (second fav), blue berry typhoon, lemon berry squeeze, and maybe 5-6 others.

    And Ocean Spray has several flavors. They are hard to find. In fact, I don't know where they are sold right now. Haven't seen any in the past month.

    And, of course, there is Crystal Light.

    These flavors make it SOOOOOO much easier for me to drink water.

    I think MyBrands.com has some items. I think that's the name. They have hard-to-find products, so you can get the drinks sold only in the summer on line during the winter.

    I always add cut up fruit to a big jug of water every morning, tastes great with no added sugar (other than what's in the fruit) and it's cheap!

    Maybe its the temperature that puts you off. (Room temp water isn't the greatest) Buy a Hydroflask & you will always have super cold water with you. www.hydroflask.com They're expensive but well worth it! I take mine everywhere!

    I hate water as well but I do find that I drink more when its through a straw. I have a camelback water bottle. My goal every day is to drink two bottles. That comes to about 6 8oz cups of water per day which is WAY more than my typical NO cups of water per day. I also think that I am dropping weight faster because I have increased my fluids.

    I also like to squeeze lemon and add a packet of sweetener to a glass of water.

    I'm struck by the large number of people who say they are/where addicted to soda AND hate water. Cigarettes are highly profitable due to addiction. Soda is too.

    I kicked my soda habit, to save on health care and food costs. However, I can never remember saying I "hate" water.

    I bought a water bottle from Costco named Contigo, The water has a built in straw and serves up to 24oz= 3cups of water. I can't even tell how much water I drink with the straw for some reason. It's made it way easier for me to drink water now. I can't drink as much from a normal water bottle or cup even if I try to. This water bottle has helped me and it may help you as well or one similar :)


    You can check it out on amazon.com . If you want to check it out here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Contigo-AUTOSPOUT®-Addison-Charcoal-Honeysuckle/dp/B006P4BR3E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1342594054&sr=8-4&keywords=contigo+water+bottle+24+oz

    I agree. I drink more in the car. I will try the tip of chewing gum while drinking. I thought I drank a lot before but have realized I haven't even been drinking 8 cups. So I have two 20oz. bottles of water that I drink before noon and two after. get it in

    Of courseI am assuming you are a passenger in the car to and fro from work, as drinking from a container whilst driving is a motoring offence ending in traffic Court in the UK.
