Me too! Ok so I found Crystal lite packets to go and they have saved me! I like the Peach Tea and I LOVE the Raspberry Ice Tea. The packets are really tiny and I put them in my purse to add to any bottled water. They taste amazing, and have O sugars ;) regular water.....blaaaaaaa......try these I think you'll love them too.
I just saw the answer above mine too....see? give it a try ;)

Try Crystal Light, you mix it with water, it has no sugar (made with splenda) and many different flavors. Pink raspberry lemonade is my fave.

I always always ALWAYS drink water with a slice of lemon in it and lots of ice and drink it with a straw. Also I sometimes make homemade sun ice tea with no sugar and throw a lot of fruit in it (peaches, lemon, orange) and maybe once a day add a half teaspoon of honey or splenda to it as a treat.

good luck, i hate water too, but i've gotten used to having lemon and straws in my house and bringing a giant waterbottle to work full of sun ice tea so i'm not tempted to buy a coke or gatorade at my workplace.

If youre trying to get fit then you should drink fruit drinks like smoothies etc but stay away from the shop bought fruit drinks as they also tend to be high in sugars, i have heard of some people who dislike the taste of water adding a tablespoon or to of lime juice to a glass of water to improve the flavour, though that's not always practical try crystal lite i know that isn't half bad

I use Crystal Lite To Go too, and stick them in my pockets then add them to a bottle of water

I really love Vitamin Water too! But it is expensive.
Sometimes slices of lemon, orange, lime, help the water go down a little easier.
Diet cordials have fake sugar.
Add a 1/4 cup of your favourite juice to 3/4 water.
Add some essense (strawberry etc) & a little splenda to your bottle of water.
Or try cold teas (I like green-but its a learned taste) theres HEAPS to choose from so u should find one u like. (Be sure u buy one thats 100% tea leaves & no added junk).

Wow...... I suggest drinking Crystal Lite.... The Rasberry Iced tea is good.....
