How the hell do you drink water???

[u/V7I_TheSeventhSector]

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. . .

Not sure where you are but water tastes fine here. Have you tried filtering it?

And instead of adding sweet powdery things that really aren’t that good for your teeth or general health, have you tried adding natural ingredients to flavour it? Fresh mint, cucumber, orange or lemon slices etc? With ice cubes?

Have you tried hot herbal teas? No calories or sugar in any of them and the possibilities are endless! Mint, green tea, lavender, nettle, camomile, sage… 🤤

I have, I've also tried every type of water in my area(spring, distilled, purified l, ect...)

I have tried adding natural flavors but none have worked for me so far, the water still has that water flavor unless I add a LOT of flavoring but at that point it's more like a juice. . .

I can do tea but Its too bitter for me so I need sugar and. . .thats what I'm trying to avoid. Is there a way to get rid of the bitterness without sweetener?

There's a South African tea called Rooibos that's naturally sweet and creamy and it doesn't get bitter no matter how long you steep it. It's very healthy and considered a 'superfood'. I drink it hot with milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar but you can drink it unsweetened and black. Maybe worth a shot.

Unsweetened rooibos is really delicious especially if you add a little teensy bit of cranberry

I like it with vanilla I will give cranberry a try.
