I have been drinking so much (but still not enough). Doing the water infused with fruit/veggies (made at home) is gross. And I heard that Crystal Light and stuff is bad for you.

Just carry a water bottle around with you at all times? I'm always drinking water because it's there. I don't know about flavoring it, because half the reason I drink water is to feel like I've cleared out my mouth and cleaned my teeth. I can't even drink only a coffee/pop/whatever without rinsing my mouth with water, otherwise I just feel like my teeth are going to get all stained.

I don't have a problem with carrying it around. It is just sometimes my brain is just like, UGH water?

I had a problem with drinking water, so here's what I did: I set a reminder on my phone calendar so that 6 times a day it would buzz and tell me to finish my water bottle and go refill it. So that meant I'd regularly throughout the day be drinking water, and it got me into the habit of drinking regularly throughout the day.

Did a doctor tell you you weren’t drinking enough water, or...? Because while a lot of people don’t drink enough water, the “8 8 oz glasses a day” can be overkill depending on your activity level, height, weight, whether you eat a lot of veggies and fruit (you get water from them and soups and most dairy and other stuff I’m forgetting), the weather... like, I passed out while visiting someone in the hospital and it turned out I was just super dehydrated, but a lot of people don’t need a gallon a day either.

Have you tried True Lemon? It's one of those add-in powders but it's on the "simple/pronounceable ingredients" trend, so it's made from crystallized citrus fruit and stevia, and that's pretty much it. Not a ton of different flavors, mostly variations of lemon and lime, but they're not bad.

I always find that I drink more if I drink with a straw. Kinda weird, but it works.

Put a small cup by your tap (or filter jug, whatever). Every time you pass the cup, take a drink.

I'm talking small - cup for green tea or child's mug - so you don't drink so much at a time that it feels oppressive.

And give yourself a mental, "yayy, I drank a water" pat on the back. Positive reinforcement for the win.

Carry a water bottle or insulated cup around with you at all times and train yourself to sip regularly. Set a timer if it helps. Personally, I argue against adding stuff to flavor your water if you can, because they're either sugary or contain sugar substitutes and all of them affect your palate until plain water isn't "good enough". Which is silly.

Are you just drinking water? Because if you are drinking soda, tea, coffee, etc., these also count towards your water intake, though caffeine can lessen their effective hydration. I only ask because drinking excess liquids can overwork your kidneys. Anyway, you can add some lemon or lime juice or some mint for flavor.

I only drink water.

You can also DIY this with your preferred water bottle but - a water bottle with times on it, so you are encouraged to to space out your water drinking throughout the day. I find its much easier for me to remember to drink from my bottle with something like this, cause I'm just drinking a few ounces every hour, not forgetting to drink and then trying to chug it.
