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.

    Keeping water at arms reach is probably what helps the most. But I read a few things when I was pregnant that really helped me with upping my water intake.

    1. Have water at bedside table. When you wake in the middle of the night have a few big gulps before going back to sleep.

    2. Have a drinking vessel with a straw. Something about moving head down or up making drinking difficult, a straw might help.

    And of course, not everyone needs two litres of water a day. Hope it helps!

      story time. growing up my older brother kept a glass vodka bottle filled with water near his bed. He was just starting college and I was a kid with my friend over on a weekend. He was sleeping in. He wakes up and like every morning downs the bottle of water. My friend comes to me and is like. Your brother just drank a whole bottle of vodka!
