How do you water? (and other basic life skills)

maxlinger60

Hiya folks,

Who else here stinks at hydrating properly?

Problem 1: I've always hated the consistency of water, no matter how thirsty I am. Something about the texture and hint of chemical flavor makes me gag like the worst rotten egg in the world. Worst of all, I'm a long distance runner, and I know it's truly a miracle I've survived this long, but I can't keep on like this.

Problem 1: I've always struggled with water bottles—I'm uncoordinated, and I dislike having to aim a hard metal lid at not-my-teeth and not-my-upper-lip but into-my-mouth-why-am-I-playing-corn-hole-with-this-stuff—and the wide lipped kind are, in my humble opinion, one of most inconvenient means of drinking water I've ever encountered in my life. Why can I not just imbibe all of the liquid i need for the day in one sitting and then be DONE?

I've tried everything to make it easier: got an accessible water bottle with a button-release cap, a straw, and two comfy handles and some fun little stickers, bought hydration mix packs to make the water taste like not-water (lemonade, grape juice, sweet tea), but I can't get over the whole watery-ness of the water.

Still, it's so haaaaarrrd.

The ultimate question: how do you water?

Love,

Max

  • Have you tried an air up bottle. I recently got one and I now drink much more water. The bottle itself is like sucking water up through a straw so no tipping up. The principle of the bottle is to add flavour to the water. Nothing is added to the water. How it works is that there is a scent ring on the mouth piece and as you suck up the water the scent of the flavour is drawn into you month and pickup up by your nose. Your mond is then trick to thinking that the water is flavoured and that you can taste it. It is amazing how it works. Here is a link to there website.
