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 make my water tasty, like by adding a slice of fresh lemon. (36.4%)

I add lots of ice to my drinks to make them more enjoyable. (28.0%)

I keep my favorite flavored drink stocked up at home. (26.2%)

I always carry a bottle of water with me while at the office or at home. (55.5%)

    I drink a lot of water in various forms; plain with ice, flavored with a slice of lemon or orange, or flavored as sun tea with some flavored tea bags added with the regular ones to add a hint of flavor. I always keep a gallon jug in the fridge and have some small water bottles that I use to fill to take on the go. I also keep at least one in the freezer to grab for traveling. I bought a small cooler to use when I go on longer journeys so that I can always have water with me!

    I love water pretty much any way...with lemon or without, with ice or without...I try to keep a re-usable bottle with me to drink from when away from home or office because I don't think that bottled water is good for you or the environment.

    I bought a stainless steel bottle that I just love at a certain coffee place. Having this bottle helps me remember to bring water with me whenever I leave the house. I love how it looks and like when other people notice it, so I always like to have it with me. This way I always have water to stay hydrated. I'm nursing my two month old son so I get very thirsty, so I also keep a glass of water on my nightstand so that when I wake up to nurse him I can also get a drink.

    I drink lots of water! Water is the best beverage for you. When I'm bored with it, I add some lemon to it. That rarely happens because I really enjoy my water.

    I always keep Crystal Light water bottle packets on hand....if I have one, I will almost always drink water when it's available! Fruit Punch and Wild Strawberry are my favorite!

    I love water! I always bring my reusable bottle to work and refill it throughout the day. And we have filtered water in the fridge at home - BETTER than bottled in my opinion. I try to drink as much as possible throughout the day (usually two or three bottles at work and a few cups at home).

    I am on a lime kick. I also freeze limes and use them as ice cubes.
