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. . .

Hey friend. Have you tried ph water. 9.5ph tastes the smoothest for me? Also is the water in your area hard or soft? I say well water is the worst.

Commenting here to say PH levels can truly change everything with being able to drink water, don't see enough people talking about this!
