Why do I dislike water so much on random days?
Ok, so I pretty much can only drink water. I can drink juice too, but only small amounts at a time.
Anyways, I drink, on average, 36 ounces of water a day, but one a few random days I have to force myself to drink water...it's like I can't stand it and I feel water logged.
On the other hand I get random days where I drink probably double that, it's like I can't get enough, because it tastes so amazing!
Also, I have city water that is filtered using a Brita filter. And, I don't know if this pertains to it, but I'm a female in my 20's.
Any ideas as to why that happens sometimes?
Thanks!

I can't say why it happens. Perhaps humans are just so accustomed to flavorful foods and such that something with little or no flavor, we find hard to take, like bland foods or water. We can force ourselves but i would guess that our subconscious mind is the one who rebells at that.
I have to be extremely thirsty to just guzzle plain water down. So heres what I do that works great for me to get the amount of water I need per day.
So what i do to increase my intake of water is to flavor it. I am not talking about Koolaid or flavoring drops for your water. What I do is when I have 100% natural juice whether bottled or frozen concentrate, I already add extra the amount of water to the juice. A gallon of apple juice thus becomes two gallons. Or I fill my glass to about 1/4 or 1/3 full of bottled juice and then add water. Instead of having my glass of juice separate or sugary sodas, I am getting some flavor to my water...very light but thats all it takes for me to be able to drink as much as it needed and healthy to take. Frozen concentrate is as sugary as soda's. So i will add twice the amount of recommended water to the concentrate. And then take whats now in the pitcher and treat it as bottled juice adding only about 1/3 of it to my glass and putting in the rest with water. Try that for a while. I'll bet if you tried to drink the concentrate with twice the amount of water, it would taste too sugary for you, even though its got extra water already.

Not sure why this is,but I am the same way! Sometimes I just want water and other days I want anything BUT water! Sometimes I add a splash of juice or lemon to give it a little zing! Tea is also a good choice as long as you don't add a lot of sugar. I add a little honey to mine and sometimes lemon. Maybe if you keep a water bottle with you at all times and just sip it here and there it will help you to drink more. My daughter bought one of those bottles with the filter inside. All you have to do is fill it and the bottle filters it for you as you drink it! You can't add flavors to these bottles though. I hope this helps. You do need to up your intake a little, 36 oz is probably not enough for the whole day. You should be aiming for around 64 ounces of liquids per day if possible.
