How much I like water is highly variable. There are times when it is just real bland - not objectionable but just not enjoyable. But there are times when it is the sweetest, most refreshing thing in the world and I can't imagine anything that could taste better. I was this way even when I was downing serious amounts of diet pepsi and am even more so now that I drink exclusively water (1 can of DP in ten weeks and no other drinks other than the three EAS protein shakes that I've had recently as part of BFL).
