How can I force myself to drink water?

I am actually feeling sick after drinking 0.25l of water - it tastes disgusting. How can I force myself to atleast finish the other half of the drink?

Is it the same for filtered water or just tap water? Cause I find it hard to swallow tap water but once it's filtered it's fine.

Yes I've tried that. I've tried holding my nose and trying to not let it touch my tongue.
Put it in a bottle, forget about it for a few minutes and then drink it.

It's in a bottle...been sitting there for about 12 minutes now. I keep taking huge gulps just swallowing it and it does work; just feels worse afterwards.
Can you add a little bit of squash or juice to it to flavour it slightly?

What do you usually drink if you don't mind me asking?

:curious:

I see. Do you have anything like a fruit (eg orange, lemon) that you can squeeze to give it a bit of a taste?
Add ice :ahee:

Usually something like fizzy drinks or milk - I just want to kick my habit why I am younger. I have tried flavouring it but all I can taste is the water.
Lol wtf? You must be used to drinking a lot of fizzy pop and flavoured drinks or just hate water...
Use a straw. It makes it so much easier to drink in my opinion...
Natural lemon juice is strong and really healthy- try hot water and lemon? That has the most flavour. If you really can't stand water can you drink green tea? Thats healthy too
You don't live in Lancashire do you?
But seriously give squash or flavoured waters a go :smile:

Maybe a pinch of sugar in it then? Could be just a bit too bland for your tastebuds.

Why would you want to? If you don't like it, don't drink it.

Yes, but I am not in the affected areas for the bug. I've tried squash but all I can taste is the water.
