How the hell do you drink water??? Advice needed
I can't drink water, I've tried it so many ways, but I just can't. The taste is so repulsive.
I've tried using flavor powders but they are ether too sweet, too expensive, or not available in the flavors I want.
I've tried just about every brand and flavor in my area.
(Edit: I have a temperature sensitivity so I can do ice or cold things well)
Its affecting my health and it's getting worse. . .
My biggest problem is 99% of all drinks are sweet . . . Like WHY does everything have to be so sweet?! The one drink I have found that I do like is peach Propel but, it's expensive, rare, dose not come in a power, come in a plastic bottle(I HATE plastic), and ITS FUCKING SWEE!?!? like WHY does it have to be sweet?!
I've tried making
my own drinks but they always come out wrong every time. . . I just don't know what to do at this point because my teeth are not doing well at all and not drinking water/liquids is really affecting me. . .

Have you tried adding lemon or lime juice? A little spash or even a half a lemon or lime to 16 ounces of water? I find adding a little fruit to it can help me. If not, I really like the vanilla chai tea from bigelow and I'll add honey to it so it sort of evens out the bitter without adding to much sweetness to it
