Part of the problem is that I dont enjoy drinking water so its difficult to convince myself to go out of my way to do a thing I dont like doing every day. I know the answer is to drink water but like… how would one go about doing that in a way that doesnt suck?

Don’t have anything else to drink at home.

  This one right here is one of the best advices. Remove all other options. You’ll either drink the water or die from dehydration.

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.

    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.

OP, are you sure you are actually dehydrated? Are you getting kidney stones?

Most people don’t need to actively concentrate on drinking liquids. Your body will tell you when you’re thirsty. It’s a weird internet fad where people try to drink like a gallon of water a day. It’s not necessarily. Your body tells you when it’s hungry and it tells you when you need to drink liquids. You’re not going to die from failure of the body signaling you to eat or drink.

Now, if you’ve had kidney stones, your doctor may tell you that you need to be drinking water.

Beyond that, excessive water drinking is just the latest fad right now. It’s not necessary.
