What, if anything, do you do to help yourself stay hydrated? (Check all that apply)

It’s hard to stay hydrated, but we all know it’s very important.  Sometimes "tricks" like having a favorite water bottle or creating rituals help us remember to drink enough water (or other hydrating beverages) during the day.

Do you have any "tricks" to remind yourself to drink enough during the day?  If so, please share them with us!

    i keep a large, full bottle in my fridge with some small bottles and i drink throughout the day, filling the large bottle up every night and refilling the bottles as i go. i also put a bottle half full of water in the freezer (especially in the summer) and when i'm going somewhere outdoors or even shopping, i fill the rest of the bottle with water and since there's already frozen water in there, it stays colder much longer.

    I always have a cold bottle of water to drink out of all day in the fridge and a bottle on my nightstand. I clean out the sturdier water bottles bought from the stores and refill them with filtered water from my fridge.
