    The concept of being fed up with water is so alien to me. Water doesn’t have some powerful, delicious flavor but the sensation of drinking water is almost always one of satisfying refreshment.

    How can you be irritated by water? “Damn it, this is only exactly what my body needs!”

      Seems like a huge failure in their nutrition education.

      Drink water for your hydration, everything else is a treat and not hydration.

      This thread clears up to me why so many people have digestive issues and/or obesity.

      Idk, I like other beverages as well, but I’ve only ever been disappointed by water when it has contaminants I can taste.

        Sounds more like you dislike bad water. I think well filtered water at this point is table stakes.

        Especially if you live in the US where you either have a leaf service line or more PFAS than you’d believe

      Some people crave or have to have some kind of flavor with their liquids or they don’t want it. I have known multiple people who thought water tasted gross, which is somewhat legit because I had to get used to the different water taste when I went to school on the opposite side of town, but they just thought any kind of water was gross. They’d always have a soda or coffee or something.

      My issue isn’t flavor necessarily, its carbonation. But plain/unsweetened soda water is gross and soda streams aren’t worth it to make my own infused water.
