And I hate the lemon in it!!!!
Answers:
Do you drink water with meals? If not, that would help. If you do, also try spicing up your meals with pepper, garlic, Italian spices etc. to make you drink more water per meal.
The other suggestions you got of Kool-aid, Crystal Light etc are also good but don't drink a lot of tea since it's a diuretic.
Adding a little fresh fruit juice is always a nice change of pace from the regular, boring, plain water but if you're dieting, stay away from fruits that need sugar.
If you been told by your doctor to drink more water or if you're doing it because you realize how important it is to your overall health, you may want to try my "last resort". I've been drinking water all my life. I average 11/2 - 2 gallons per day...but sometimes even I can't stand the thought of another glass of water.My remedy to this is eating salt. I'll pour just a little in the palm of my hand, lick a small amount and I'm ready for the water. Eating saltines. with or without peanut butter, is also very effective. In the summertime, especially, when we sweat a lot we lose quite a bit of salt so replenishing it this way is so much better than adding it to foods.
Of course, if you are restricting your salt intake, you may not want to try the last one too much, if at all.
I hope I was able to help.
