I've NEVER been a huge fan of drinking water. I do like sparkling water but felt better about drinking filtered still water (like Angela/Skamito said, "the idea of adding carbon to water....."). I have these 16 oz. glasses (so I only need to drink four of them). Everyday now, after I drink down a glass, I treat myself to two macadamia nuts. That way, I get my water and I also get a "snack". So usually, before dinner, I've at least had my minimum daily requirement of water and anymore afterwards is "gravy" (so to speak)!
