Creative ways to help my wife drink more water?

[CuriousHubby]

What things help you stay hydrated and thirsty?

[DishLady]

1. Set a timer then make a "shots" game of it.

2. Pick a word or expression she uses a lot and have her take 3 sips of water every time she uses it.

3. Flavor the water with lemon or cucumber, esp in the summer.

4. Lemon-water ice pops

5. Seltzer

As an adult I just drink what is required + some. I don't need to trick myself into knowing it's something needed and will feel better for drinking.

My father refused to drink water and ended up having to have more than a foot of his intestine removed because of his stubbornness. I suppose this hit a nerve.
There are lots of flavored additives to make water more appealing.

[CuriousHubby]

There are but maybe she has to find the one for her! Mine is just cold water! Tastes amazing and feels so good.

There is only one important thing you need to say.. That is, if she wants her kidneys to remain healthy then she must stay hydrated!
I have a bottle of water with me always!

[CuriousHubby]

That won't work too well with a girl. A Stanley bottle would work better! 😉
True very important for the kidneys don't want a kidney stone! 😭

You could also show her around a dialysis unit in hospital, from people not drinking enough water. Shock tactics might work?

[CuriousHubby]

Not when she has been the one giving the dialysis
XD

Holy cr*p Batman.. She's seen first hand what dehydration can do and yet she STILL won't stay hydrated? I have no words!

[CuriousHubby]

It's not she won't stay hydrated more she is so busy it's hard to.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Oh. so its just absent mindedness on her part? That's different. Go around her ward and put posters up everywhere of test that reads.. (insert her name here) DON'T FORGET TO STAY HYDRATED!!!

Water bottle with Straw. For some reason, my wife drinks much more when there is a drinking straw.

[CuriousHubby]

Same not sure why that is!

[Account]

I had the same issue, I didn't drink much water at all. I keep a water bottle near me which keeps the water cool at all times. It is the only way for me to be reminded to drink.

[CuriousHubby]

That helps her handle a quick drink but it's more her remembering to drink more then a sip.
Also she always forgets her bottle.
Maybe a straw?

[DrPepper12]

Those metered bottles that give encouragement or reminders from phone. Does she not LIKE water? 🤔

[CuriousHubby]

Needs a taste
Those depress her when she falls behind

[Sonorous]

You could tell her to always drink 8-24oz after waking up. Then simply drink water after every meal she eats.

THATS FUCKING WEIRD
