I got out of my water drinking habit and finding it hard to build back up to 100oz + per day. I don’t like the fact I’ve added in drinks with fake sweeteners to get more fluid intake. What do you all drink to supplement water that is better than some artificially flavored and/or colored beverage? I feel nothing exists and I just need to get back to my water habit. Maybe any good water bottles that help you drink more?

In addition to drinking water, I make a very large cup of green tea - 2 green tea bags + 1 mint tea bag. It is about 32 ounces.

I also aim for 100ish oz per day. I got a water bottle I like (no special features, it's just pretty so I like drinking from it). If I feel like something different, I'll drink unsweetened sparkling water (no flavor or naturally flavored).

I love nuun! I have done liquid iv in the past but it’s a little too sweet for me so I’ll do half a nuun in a 28oz simple modern water bottle & then repeat throughout the day. On days I’m super dehydrated I’ll do lemon water with pink sea salt, but nuun has been my fave

like

I have a 28 oz simple modern too, though I think anything that would keep my water cold would do. The big game changer for me was buying the straw flip top - I'm lazy and it was too much work to lift the full bottle. Now, I can leave it on the desk and just flip the straw up and I find that I'll drink water more continuously throughout the day.

like

Waterdrop. It’s kind of plain alone but I add a few drops of liquid stevia and it’s the most natural tasting additive I’ve found. Stur is another natural flavor additive and I do cold brew herbal teas when I’m bored. I also use Nuun on workout days and Ultima on rest days because of the sodium content.

I clearly will do anything possible to avoid drinking actual water.

Herbal teas, iced if you want. Hibiscus is a good one to do cold.

Instead of the chemical products, recommend you buy a huge water bottle. I have a half gallon (64oz) that's pretty and functional, and having that much water by my desk means fewer trips to the fridge downstairs = WAY more likely to drink water. Also, it has a straw which is totally essential for me, much quicker to take a sip than a bottle that needs to be tilted.

If there's a straw right in front of you and plenty of water in the bottle, you'll drink it. This got me from ~40oz/day to a gallon in one week.
