Im realizing that I’ve actually been chronically dehydrated for a good portion of my adult life and I’m looking to change that. I just don’t enjoy drinking water (as silly as that may sound).

Any advice is appreciated.

    Big Water Bottle has everyone convinced that we need to be chugging water 24/7.

    Unless you live in a really hot place and work outside, or have some other risk factor (like dementia or diarrhea), thirst should be enough to keep you hydrated enough.

    If you dont have additional risk factors, and you dont just exist in a constant state of thirst, I wouldn’t worry about it.

      Echoing this:

      Being dehydrated has real and generally unpleasant symptoms which drinking water alleviates. Dehyrdation is not just when your urine has a color.

      If you have to go #1 on a regular basis, you’re probably not dehydrated.
