I could not agree less ! Water, especially with some ice cubes is the best on a hot summer day ! Glad my kids love water too !

I feel the opposite, I like my water without anything , however do love my water cold.

I love drinking water but it needs to be cold. I think it makes such a difference. Also, try adding a little lemon or lime for flavour.

If you have very bland taste buds this can happen and you don’t feel like drinking water. Try scraping your tongue or gargling salt or bicarb water to cleanse it.

I could not agree more! If your struggling you could try drinking sparkling water. I can’t drink normal water now but can easily drink sparkling

I would say the opposite… I can smash down water easily but any flavoured drink I struggle with. I think its comes down to what you are used to – a habit like any other

Maybe it is due to the flavor you get from a cordial. The smell may also make you think this a better drink than the water.

Ha ha I was thinking the same but with the beer and water.

I understand what you are saying but I just leave a glass of water on the bench and have a sip when every I see it. Be quiet surprised how much you drink when you aren’t feeling forced to have to drink it.

My son will barely sip a glass of water, but will drink glass after glass of diet cordial. I know it isn’t ideal, but better that than not drinking any water at all. Especially as a teenager, his mates are all buying fizzy drinks and frozen drinks at the shops, so could be worse.

Also, I chill water and it is pleasant to drink when chilled.

I love to drink plain water but will also drink water with a slice of lemon or lime for a little tang.

I have just made the switch to sugar free cordial. I don’t see the difference flavour wise it’s still just as satisfying. I do like water thou but more so from a bottle than a glass. I can’t tell you why that is it just works better for me.

I 100% agree with you! I make myself drink it but it is soo much harder in winter. Sometimes I will add a cold brew tea bag to my 1 L drink bottle to make it taste nice.

Interesting to read your answers. Thanks. Just to clarify that cordial is not something I constantly drink. I have no issues drinking water from a water bottle and can quite easily drink 2/3s of a bottle in one go with no issues (usually refill with tap water), but find drinking water from a glass is hard to get down. I try to drink water throughout the day to keep hydrated. I just noticed how much easier a glass of water is to get down with a splash of cordial, than it is to drink from the glass without. (plastic cup/mug/glass) of different size make no difference to the dilemma.
