Answer 1

It is weird, you need water.

Answer 2

There are lots of people that don't like water, but I am not one of them.  I am lucky to live in the country with my own well that has some of the best tasting water I know of.

Perhaps you simply don't like the taste of the chemicals put in town water supplies (I know I don't).  Does bottled or purified water still taste bad to you?  Have you ever tried putting a squeeze of lemon in your water.  I think it makes a refreshing drink.  Then again I also like a squeeze of lemon in my diet pepsi.

But seriously, water is important.  Drinks like sodas (while perfectly fine in moderation) add stuff to your body that needs to be processed and removed.  Without plain (or lemoned) water to help with the cleaning, your body has to work all the harder to process it.

Answer 3

I hate water too, and always have.  I have always, and I mean always, drank soda since I was about 8 or 9, and Coke pretty much exclusively since around 10.  I am now 51.  I have destroyed my teeth and have permanent dentures.  Acne BIG TIME through my 40's.  My kidneys also took quite a beating from it, with huge stones that had to be pounded out of me just a few years ago.  I had gestational diabetes at 39 and thought I would just die without my Coke.  After the stones, which were VERY painful, I was told to drink water.  ICK!  So, now I drink lemonade.  I use the Real Lemon juice (just a little for flavor) with just a little bit of sugar.  I dislike artificial sugars intensely, and the lemon gives flavor and actually helps to not get stones again.  Oh how I wish I drank water, and milk too.  Please try to not drink so much soda because I can guarantee you will regret it later on in life.  Try watered down lemonade or juice (even that will ruin your teeth so be sure to only flavor your water with it).  Be sure to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water after every soda until you are used to the changeover.  Soda to me now is almost yucky but I don't really miss it (I miss my real teeth more!).  Good luck!

Answer 4

i have no idea how you survive because the number one thing all living creatures need on this planet is water.

Answer 5

I used to be like that and not like water. But that all changed when I heard that not drinking water can damage your kidneys. So if you don't like water,Also drink flavored water like aqua fina.Flavor water is good , drinking it witha tall glass of ice water with a straw is good.

Answer 6

Water is probably the best thing for quenching thirst.  It has no sugar and is much more pure than soda.

Answer 7

Drink to live , not live to Drink.

I cant beleive how disgusting & proud you guys are to say all you drink is coke. nobody healthy will ever love you back.

your HUMAN for gods sake.

quite acting like farmed processed animals, its making me feel disgusted.

Answer 8

well you dont have to like it but with all that coke and pepsi ull get sick with kidney.bladder ,and/or liver disorders

Answer 9

it may have no taste but its very good for you.

Answer 10

I see your point! its nasty but you shouldnt care what people say about you drink what you want to drink and if you want to drink water in front of your friends try adding some of those lemonade packets in your water and it tastes so good . you should try it thats what i do.

Answer 11

Try not taking a shower or bath for a month and see if you really like water or LOVE water.

Answer 12

that is ok. i hate water too. but it is really really good for you. so instead of drinking coke and pepsi (which is horribly for you by the way even if it is diet) drink vitamin water or flavored water. you will feel and look much better!!!

Answer 13

Most people say that because allot of people drink water. At least 50% or more people on Earth drink water everyday. Most people drink it because they think its refreshing. Dont worry you are no the only one who dose'nt like water! my sister hates it too, she also says its yucky.

hope I helped!

Answer 14

I'm so glad to hear that someone besides me hates water!!  Unless I'm really really hot and thirsty I gag on it.

Yes, water is good for you, and our bodies need fluids, but you don't have to drink those 8 glasses that everyone recommends.  You get water in fruit & vegetables, and in juice & milk.  My dietician told me that if I wasn't thirsty, I didn't need to force myself to drink more.

If you're concerned about being dehydrated, just press the ball of your thumb into your arm for a couple of seconds.  If it leaves a white thumb print for a couple of seconds, you're dehydrated, if it doesn't, you're not.

Answer 15

Try crystal lite flavors for your water.  I don't drink water unless it has flavor.

Answer 16

It's not weird. I hate drinking water. It's soooo... boring and tasteless. It's like, why would I eat something with no taste when I can have a nice piece of chocolate cake.

Just tell them you do like water... that has sugar and taste like something. Aka soda.

Answer 17

try drinking flavored water, that way u still get the things water does for your body and u don't really have to have that taste that water has (it does have a taste! to me it tastes like it has soap in it....always...)

i don't like water either but i still drink it,for health reasons.

(kool aide is awsome too!)
