    If it's hard for you to drink enough water everyday, I'd suggest eating fruits rich in water like watermelons, strawberries, oranges, pineapples etc. Not only do they give you water, they're also a healthy snack option. ^^

    Whenever you feel thirsty, drink until you're no longer thirsty. Being thirsty is your body warning you that you are low on water. DO NOT IGNORE IT!

    You feel tired? Drink. You feel lightheaded? Drink. Your eyes start to blur? Drink.

    Have a glass of water by your bed and drink water as soon as you wake up. Make it a habit. Drink water the moment you wake up. Before taking a bath, changing your clothes or whatever else, drink water.

    Ai-chan has never gotten sick for over a decade because of two reasons, Ai-chan sleeps enough and Ai-chan drinks lots of water. Eating properly is important too, but these two things are most important.

    To add to your suggestions, if you feel hungry drink water first. Many times we think we are hungry when in reality our body is trying to communicate thirst.

    eeerrhhhh bad video...

    he is exaggerating quite a bit. Also thirst doesnt work really good for most people (due to themselves or illnesses) tbh, a better indicator is your urine.
    The average person IS dehydrated, just very few people on average are overhydrated. Also death would only be caused in extreme cases, its not justs "rare", you would have to drink about half a litre or a litre or something and do non-stop exercise for at least an hour (like running), else youd have no chance of that happening. (sorry I dont have numbers on me now)
    When you are dehydrated your body naturally doesnt dehydrate everywhere equally, else youd always be either dehydrated or overhydrated, not-so-important parts get dehydrated first, so its fine to a certain extend, just as it is fine to overhydrate to a certain extend. You just need to stay within a certain range.
    Aaalso about the 8 cups (2 liters). Yes thats not a magical number that is the truth, but since everyone is different a number had to be said. You can calculate how much water you use dayly with your weigth, fat, muscle etc. . (Again sorry cant provide numbers atm, just google)

    Correct me if any of this is wrong...

    I take a water bottle to school and I drink some water whenever I feel bored? I’m starting to drink less water though because I don’t want to use the bathroom every 5minutes.

    If you're going to be doing something in one place for awhile, like at a desk or table, get a cup of water and a straw.
    Put the cup directly in front of you on the table, put the straw in the cup, put the end of the straw in your mouth. While you're working (or reading or playing or whatever) sip extremely slowly, but constantly and you'll forget that you're drinking water at all until you hit the bottom of the cup and the straw starts making noise.
    That'll get at least one cup of water into you. More if you use a bigger cup or do it multiple times in a day.

    I drink whenever I got thirsty, a bottle a glass doesn't matter. As long as it can quench my thirst.

    My default water are carbonated drinks and when I'm out of carbonated drinks; I drink purified water.:blobwoah:

    Okay, I'll be honest with you, your request made my mind blown... or should I say, haywire.:blobdizzy: Tips on how to drink water... like, seriously? What are you doing in a daily basis or what activity are you engage in which does not allow you to drink water conventionally?:blobconfused:

    If you're talking about have this feeling of dehydration, simply make yourself full of water. Eat something delicious to have a sense of fulfillment and drink water after.

    Flavoring your water seems like a good way to go.

    You could opt for less conventional but minimal waste options:

    I get the vibe of coming up with whatever reason just to drink(alcohol)

    About the adam ruins everything video about only thirst indicating your body needs hydration, it only applies if you hydrate regulary.
    For people like me who have spend years drinking only a few cups a day, our body is already screwed up:aww:

    How do I drink water? Well, I had practice. The first step is to find a container that fits your hands with water. If this is not possible, find a water source and move the water into the container. Lift the container to the open mouth with head tilted slightly back and slowly tilt the container until H2O pours out. When the mouth feels partially full, tilt the container back until it's level and close mouth. Swallow the di-hydrogen monoxide and feel it flow down the esophagus, past the larynx and the bronchi. As it settles in the gastric chamber, contemplate how much water was swallowed and repeat the previous steps until you feel your stomach expand a little more. As I stated first, it takes practice to understand how much water to drink. You're welcome. :blobwink:

    First step get a box....*cough* a belt, next find a nice old style canteen. I would go with a nice stainless steel or one of those policarbanate numbers. Personally I like the steel ones as you can boil water in them directly if needed.

    When I’m thirsty, I stop what I’m doing and drink. I don’t stop drinking until I’ve had my full. I then return to what I was doing.

    I stay almost the whole day in my bed because I work at home-office... I just have 2 water bottles stationed right next to it.

    So... I basically have water available 24/7~
