Do you play games? Consider it fuel/health, daily requirements. Just chug two tall glasses first thing when you get up.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Flavoured hydration powders are a solid option, as long as you're avoiding chemical sweeteners.
The trick is to make them at half the recommended strength by putting the recommended amount into double the volume of water, which will also stop you from giving yourself kidney stones by overloading you with minerals
If your in the UK, fill up glass bottles with water and leave in the fridge overnight.
Then find a cup you like and fill with chilled water, I have a 600ml glass mug from IKEA.
I know that's not much help but it's what I do
Put water in a cup, put your lips up to the opening of the cup, slowly tilt the cup toward your mouth and swallow the water that goes inside.
eat more salad (if its a question of not being motivated to drink tasteless water) and if you do eat a lot of salad already then just lug around water in a little bottle when you 1. go on strolls and 2. go to bed, and sip on it.
Or you could commit to a glass of water after every time you pee/poop.
I keep a water bottle nearby at all times and sip a bit as I remember. Honestly how often you take a sip probably matters more than how much anyway.
If you have chronic heartburn or gerd, don't treat it with anything. Just take a sip of water anytime you notice it for a temporary moment of relief.
I don't drink soda and stuff and carry a water bottle on me all times
What I do (assuming I am at home all day) is a cycle of this:
- before going to bed, put a fresh full glass of water beside my bed
- after waking up, first thing I do is drink from it
- most likely I will now need to pee, so do that, and after washing hands, immediately refill my glass
- drink from that glass of water throughout the day when I am even slightly thirsty
- usually when I have finished a glass of water, I need to pee again; if that happens, again refill my glass after doing so
- if I've finished a glass of water but do not need to pee, I usually refill it with another drink (e.g. fruit juice) instead
- keep that cycle of refilling after using the toilet going
If I'm spending my day at the office, the first thing I do after arriving is grab a glass of water, but otherwise, same cycle.
I went for white tea and soda stream
Be careful. Most of the water you consume comes from food. You don't need 2 L/half gallon above and beyond what you eat per day. This is a myth from a misreading of a military study from the Republic of Gilead.
@Maven but why do you hate drinking water ?? Is it pretty cold where you live ??

Literally whatever helps you. If drinking a bottle of coke zero every day makes you stay hydrated, it's a healthy choice.
Personally I bought an insulated flask that I carry around everywhere cause I can't stand room temp water. Just takes a while to find a good flask that's easy to clean and won't accumulate mold as much.
I'm thirsty. What do I do.
