I don't know if anyone else ever struggled with getting down sufficient quantities of water- if so, though, I have a tip I've just come to realize:

WIDE-MOUTHED WATER BOTTLE.

When I drink out of a water bottle w/ a large drinking point, I definitely drink more water. Even though it's obviously the same quantity bottle to bottle, bigger sips are unavoidable this way. When I'm drinking out of a small bottle, I guess the water has time to "settle" since it takes longer to drink, filling me and preventing me from moving to the next bottle as quickly.

Tired, sum:

Anyone needing a way to get another liter or two of water per day: drink water out of a wide-mouthed bottle.

It may be just a placebo, but it's working for me.

I just drink a glass every time I stand up. Going to the washroom? Chug water. Phone rings? Finish call, hang up, chug water. Knock at door? Chug water. If I drink more than three cups in an hour my throat get sore, though... feels dehydrated. I've never figured out why.

I have the same issue, Boxer. I find it inexplicable, but if I've had too much water in a short period of time, my throat begins to feel sort of "raw", you know?

The best way to ensure you always drink enough water is to join the American military and make you get deployed to the big sand box for a long period of time.

I guarantee you will have a lifetime mental and physiological obsession with drinking water no matter what the temperature is, or your hydration status.

+1

They're easy to bring with you, the volume markings are really handy, and they make a perfect shaker:thumbup: I don't know what I'd do without my nalgene bottles
