This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of EveryDrop™. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have written posts before on tips to drink more water, and with it being the hottest part of the summer (at least in Texas) I figured I would share some again. Some of these are new and some of these are things I have talked about before.
Tips To Drink More Water
Carry it with you: I know for me when I have it with me in the car or if I am carrying water in my hand while running errands, going through Target, shopping around the mall, I am far more likely to drink a ton of it. I suggest getting a cute tumbler and the PopOut Filter from Whirlpool and keeping it full 24/7. I like doing this because it saves money too.
Drink a big glass first thing in the morning: I keep a tumbler of water by my bed at night and I try to finish off whatever is left in it when I wake up. I just sit on the side of my bed and gulp it down. It’s a good habit to get into so that you are hydrated before any breakfast, coffee, etc. Especially if you are a morning caffeine drinker, because caffeine can be very dehydrating.
Use a filtration pitcher and always keep it full: We are big fans of having pitchers of clean fresh cold water in our fridge. Recently we have been using the Whirpool EveryDrop™ PopOut Filter & Pitcher. It has a 12 cup capacity so we usually refill it every other day or so. It also fills up super fast: freshly filters water 5X faster* than other leading brand water filtration pitchers. Water at the Speed of Life® that’s 1 gallon of great-tasting water filtered in just two minutes! The EveryDrop™ PopOut Filter & Pitcher is available in stores like Walmart—and online or use the EveryDrop™ Pitcher Store Locator. By always keeping the pitcher full there is no excuse to not have a tumbler or glass full of water at all times.
When you eat: I try to drink a full glass of water with every meal. Not only does it help your food digest, but it also helps you not over eat and helps you stay hydrated. So much win!
Use an app/set reminders: Andrew uses the Water Drink Reminder app which alerts him to drink more water. You can customize it to alert you as frequently as you want. I know a lot of people who set hourly reminders for themselves in their Google calendars. The point is you can have these things remind you as needed. After a few weeks you probably won’t need the reminders anymore.
These are my favorite tips to drink more water. These are the things Andrew and I do to ensure that we are both drinking lots of water. He also uses flavored packets (sugar free) to put in his water to make it taste a little more fun. I don’t personally like them, but both he and my dad love them. There are so many tips to drink more water that will really help it become more of a habit and less of a chore.
I need to follow this advice, I am so bad at drinking water! I actually do need to set a reminder in my phone. My kids are bad too so I will try and follow all these tips!
These are great tips! I must confess I’m awful about drinking water, but you have inspired me! I know it has amazing health benefits. Have an awesome day!
Love these tips. I fall out of my water drinking habit so easily, especially now that I work from home. Thank you for reminding me to go fill up my water bottle right now!
I need to drink more water desperately! I think my next step is to get a filter container like you said. I used to drink it so often but I can’t seem to keep up anymore. It’s a good idea to set alarms and at least drink a full glass with every meal! Thank you for the advice. 🙂
I keep my 25 ounce water bottle always filled and have a goal of 100 ounces. I really don’t mind drinking water, but sometimes I flavor it with essential oils. I am also a big LaCroix fan 🙂
Great tips! I’m bad at carrying water with me because I walk everywhere and it’s one more thing to carry. But it’s been crazy hot here all week so I’m going to have to start!
These are super great tips to drink more water! Love it. I am already a big water drinker and so are my kids – because I barely have anything beyond just milk and water in the home. I use water bottles already set up in the fridge, this helps ensure kids grab that all the time!
Great tips, Neely! I love to drink a full glass of water right in the morning so that I can begin my day with that healthy–then I do better with drinking it during the day.
This is a great post!! I’ve been trying to be better about this myself, and carrying it with me makes a HUGE difference!!! I love the filtered pitcher idea! Awesome post!
Ok, this pitcher is SO neat!!! And your tips are fantastic – I find that setting alarms and keeping my water bottle with me always are the most effective!!
I went through a period when I wasn’t drinking as much water as I needed so, I incorporated some of the tips above. Now I make sure I have a gallon in the fridge and one on my kitchen counter that way, there is always a supply ready and handy.
Great tips Neely! I always bring water with me when I’m going shopping, because I get so thirsty, but rarely think to stop and get something to drink. I also like using my S’well bottle, because it keeps my drinks cold, even if I leave it in the car while I’m in the store.
Having it with you is defintely something I need to keep in mind. Another fun way to keep track of your water in take is Plant Nanny app. Every time you drink you get to water the plant and it’s how you keep it alive eventually it grows. It’s fun to see your plant grow.
I’m trying to be healthier and drink more water. I had never considered getting a water filtration pitcher and keeping it full. Another thing to consider is getting a water pitcher that makes the water slightly alkaline.
These are great tips for drinking more water! I recently started drinking more water with my meal, and it has really helped me not over eat as well get my daily h20 in! Thanks for sharing!
If you have water with you, whether you’re walking or driving around, you’d definitely be able to drink more. Making sure you always have your bottle filled would probably be a good idea as well. I would imagine that getting bottled water delivered to your home could be a great way to always have some with you.
Love the tips. This is an issue I have. I just hate having to pee all the time. I need to get over it.
Drinking tons water first thing in morning gets me going. Carrying some with me helps during day reach my goals
I need to follow this advice, I am so bad at drinking water! I actually do need to set a reminder in my phone. My kids are bad too so I will try and follow all these tips!
I usually always put lemon juice in my water! I am constantly having to go to the bathroom but at least I am getting my water intake in!
Since we live in the desert, I try to drink a 6 oz glass at the top of every hour!
My new years resolution was to drink more water, I could be doing better on that haha, thanks for your tips.
I like to infuse my water with fun flavors when I start to get bored with it plain!
I love drinking water and it’s so good for you. These are great tips and that is the cutest little pitcher!
These are great tips! I must confess I’m awful about drinking water, but you have inspired me! I know it has amazing health benefits. Have an awesome day!
love the tips, i keep a water bottle at my desk and take it with me in the car. I find sitting in traffic its easy to get a bottle of water down!
Yum! I love water. I can’t get enough, ever. It boggles my mind that people don’t drink it!
Love these tips. I fall out of my water drinking habit so easily, especially now that I work from home. Thank you for reminding me to go fill up my water bottle right now!

I try to have it sitting right in front of me on the desk. I’m always thirsty, so if it’s right there, I’ll grab that instead of getting a soda.
Great tips. I also keep water by my bedside and try to drink some before every meal.
