And no, it's not because of the weird taste tap water has.

I'm not saying it to try and be "difficult"... i just don't like the taste of it. The only time that I don't mind drinking it is when I'm working out, but even then I don't find it very refreshing. Also, I HATE drinking it with food. Say I was eating a sandwich... to me, drinking water with that would be the equivalent of pouring water on a piece of bread and eating it.. and who wants to eat wet bread?! lol. I don't know why I think like that, but I do.

If I drink water, I add either a little bit of lemonade to it, or I use those Propel water-flavoring packets. I just don't like plain water.

I'm the same way. I drink either caffeine free Diet Pepsi or caffeine free Diet Dr. Pepper on a daily basis. I make myself drink water when I'm being physically active but I'm like you...I add one of those packets to it.

Though I will say if I drank more water I probably wouldn't have to whiten my teeth as often. And I don't even want them WHITE...I just want them to be stain free and healthy looking. I'm sure downing 6 brown colored drinks a day (even with straws) doesn't help. That only recently occurred to me and I've since bought a bunch of those flavor packets for water bottles.

But if you were to drink plain distilled water, it tastes like butt. But these are the same people who are addicted to caffiene. I wonder if drinking 6 cups of coffee or 6 pepsi's in a day warp your taste buds to make plain water taste nasty. I have no problem with tap water though.

I drink like 4-5 diet pepsi's a day and 96 ounces of water and I still love the water. It does have to be "good" water though (no nasty tastes in there).

I have a co-worker who drinks out of straws all the time and always has. She now has wrinkles that look like smoker's wrinkles, from her lips being pursed around a straw so muhc. So becareful with the straw usage! It may come back to haunt you in your 50s!
