Im realizing that I’ve actually been chronically dehydrated for a good portion of my adult life and I’m looking to change that. I just don’t enjoy drinking water (as silly as that may sound).

Any advice is appreciated.

    I truly don’t understand this. Water is so refreshing and clean tasting. Did you grow up drinking lots of soda or sugary drinks?

      Yeah, I did. I wasn’t raised the most healthy admittedly but I’m trying to work towards it.

      In my experience tho water doesnt taste refreshing though because water doesnt taste like anything.

        If I can scare you into drinking less acidic and sugary drinks: I was raised in a soda home. In 7th home economics class we did an assignment where we calculated the cans of soda we had on average. I thought my classmates were trolling me because they drank maybe 4 cans of soda a week while I was having around 40. I have had a lot of tooth decay later in life and had many teeth pulled. Turn around and treat it like a cigarette addiction. Some sugar in your life won’t kill you but watch out for habitual over-consumption.

        I see. So, if it doesn’t taste like anything, then it doesn’t taste bad, right? It just doesn’t “taste” to you. Your taste buds are probably desensitized to things that aren’t loaded in EXTREME FLAVOR!!! (sorry, was trying to evoke Brawndo vibes).

        You’ve gotta just drink it. But if you’re still slurping down tepid caramelized sugar water drinks, your mileage may vary.

        Good luck.

      it entirely depends on the qualities of the water, and temperature. My water tastes utterly uninteresting unless i cool it down to fridge temps, which makes it very tasty. Some of the best tasting water i’ve had was from an old well that was super cold and tasted like metal in a very refreshing way.
