You might be a super taster like me, you can get a genetic test for it if you really want to know. Obsession with diet soda seems to be a common thread as is the distaste for water.
Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water?

For me it’s because I’ve been drinking carbonated drinks for so long that flat water is awful to drink. I know it’s good for me, I know I need to stop the carb drinks. I know I’ll live a longer life if I do this. But it’s somewhat like an addiction for me, it’s really hard to quit and move to water.
The tap water in my area tastes pretty gross. I’ve tried the flavored water and never really found one that was good and didn’t have weird taste or drinking effects. I would do carb water but it’s so expensive, more expensive than my carb drinks now. So it’s hard to even find a replacement.

Get a filter for your tap water, then get the water cold. Both will reduce the flavor of the water, leaving you with crisp, neutral flavored water. If that doesn’t do it for you, look into an at home carbonation system, there’s guides for making your own if you don’t wanna do premade.

I suggest ZeroWater. The filters don’t last as long because they have more layers, but that means they filter out more things.
