Water

The first thing I did to increase my water was start watering down everything. I started with a splash which I hardly noticed (in soda seltzer and filtered in juice, and koolaid) then increased it a bit at a time. I am up to half and half or more water. (cept no more soda, pregnant again) Right now I couldn't drink straight juice if my life depended on it! (it has been about 4 years)

I also have a newish rule with my kids (to save on milk) that we alternate, water between every beverage. and I follow the rule myself sometimes (but I do have multiple glasses of water in a row lots)

I couldn't drink local water so I have to have a brita filter, but honestly I don't change the thing all that often so it is still cheaper than flavoring. I even have a small sportbottle thing that has a filter in it for when we travel.

we try to keep cold water in the fridge for some strange reason if it is in there it will get drunk.

My guys all get to pick out a fancy water bottle occasionally. This is what they use all the time then. Water is the main beverage here, with pop on occasion. The bottles are all dishwasher safe & get cleaned out frequently.
All of my guys here have speech difficulties, so the water bottle idea started from a speech therapists suggestion years ago............using a straw strengthens the muscles in and around the mouth. So, sports bottles with straws are the way to go for us!
Saves on all the glasses when people just want a "little drink"
