i used to be someone that would never ever drink water, now i drink a full bottle everyday. i personally found out that i think filtered water with a ton of ice is decent, so i started drinking that. eventually i started to crave water and the more i drank the better it tasted. i would say just keep trying.

I used to hate drinking water but I really wanted to lose weight recently and got myself a jug. I fill it with Poland spring water only and put cucumbers and strawberries. Now I feel strange if I go a few hours without water

I only drink water if it's flavored.... Not too big on soda, I'll have a sprite or Pepsi here and there but I mostly have coffee or tea. Powerade makes a cucumber water that's delicious but I can't find it around here anymore 😥

I hear actually cutting sugary drinks can help "reset" your palette for water especially but it could be something genetic if even that doesn't help. I agree with everyone else here, I especially think it being really cold can help too with a lot of ice or something a bit strange but like a water slushie that's just pure water. Flavoring can help though too but I'm not sure if you're looking for ways to drink more water haha

I'm like that with certain brands but not all water. I just get bored of water sometimes but I've found getting a decent sized knock off hydroflask helps motivate me to drink more water and Walmart sells these flavored lemonade packets that are sugar free and trust me I hate sugar free stuff as much as the next person but you can barely tell. I put three packets in my 40oz water. I spend like $10 every two weeks on the packets. It's much cheaper than soda.

They also sell caffeine packets so if you need an extra pick-me-up those are great too but I caution you to only put in one of those packets and do regular packets with the rest of your water otherwise you'll be hyped up for hours because they're 125mg of caffeine PER packet.
