Is it normal to hate drinking water?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s pretty normal to dislike drinking plain water. You can get fluids from other drinks and foods, though it’s worth finding options you’ll actually drink regularly.
Plain water can taste bland, or even have an unpleasant taste depending on where it comes from. Some people prefer it cold, with ice, or with a little flavor; others just aren’t naturally drawn to drinking much at once.
You don’t have to force yourself to love water. Other drinks and water-rich foods count toward hydration, so try options like sparkling water, flavored water, tea, or fruit if they suit you. Just keep an eye on whether you’re getting enough fluids overall—your thirst and urine being very dark can be clues you may need more.
