I just can not drink enough water

I dont'thave anything against water really, but I just like drinking other things so much more. Yes, with how I eat, people probably wonder about my commitment to Weight Waters, but I am honestly. I just have an issue with drinking water. You are supposed to drink at least 4 8 oz containers per day, but I am lucky if I do half. I really don't dislike water..I just would rather drink other things. Do you have a problem drinking water?

I drink diet soda sometimes so I don't want to put anything like that in it.

I love water, nothing beats it for me. I've never been a soda drinker and I'll have a morning coffee or tea but maaaan water is so good. it's all about building the habit of drinking it. first thing I do when I wake up is have a full bottle of water. keeping a reusable bottle/cup with you helps, too. you can add fruit to your water to give it more of a flavor, that might help.

Adding lemon helps but adding any sweeter would probably defeat the purpose.

@isweartokira I never thought about that in regard to teeth, but you are probably right!

@snowy22315 eh, it's still water you're drinking. and be careful adding lemon, it's not good for your teeth. I have a friend who adds a few strawberries and mint leaves to her water pitcher and let's it soak overnight. she can drink it all but regular water she hates.

All liquids count and not only water, this is what all doctors told me. I surely do not drink so much water, but I drink enough liquids (water, coffee, soups).

Coffee is good for you and yes to a certain extent too, but water may be there best.

@LadyDuck It seems I will drink almost any beverage I happen to have around. Coffee usually just in the morning though. I have to watch my caffeine intake

@snowy22315 During the day the only thing I drink is water, but I need my morning coffee and another cup at mid morning. I do not like sodas.

I never had a problem with it. I used to drink coke more but it has been more than a year that I greatly reduced my coke drinking.

I am a soda drinker particularly Coke. On the average, I drink 3 cans of Coke a day. But I always drink half a glass of water after the Coke.

Any of those soda's regular or diet aren't very good for you at all. I almost never drink regular soda, but I have a glass or two of diet per day.

@snowy22315 the diet soda has a story. Try to find it if you are interested for I don't drink diet and I don't care.

I'm trying to get off sodas completely and am in somewhat the same boat. I like ice cold water and then again plain water gets boring. I've added lemon juice which is just a personal favorite, but there are a lot of flavor packets on the market that are 0 calories or low calorie if you can do it with flavored water. I'm also trying to drink more tea. Good luck!

Thanks, I drink a lot of tea. However, it is essential to drink water..maybe when it gets a bit warmer drinking water won't be such a chore. I have heard it is OK to drink Hint water, but that isn't too delicious, plus it costs money.

Lately, I seem to want more of it than usual. It's pretty dry so that might have something to do with it. I do have a bottle of eggnog in the fridge calling my name though!!

@stbrians Exactly. In summer the temperature is higher and you need more water.
