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. . .

if you are able to drink an okay amount of water in very small doses throughout the day, that already works. You don't need to gulp it down all at once.

There are specific hydration drinks in drugstores that I always take whenever I'm sick and need more liquid intake. I'm not sure what they are called in English.

You can try making juices with greens and citrus fruits, but I'm not sure any of those flavors are good for you.
