DPaul, check out the Contigo Ashland water bottles. They’re a surprisingly easy solution to water intake.
They have a unique straw design. We found these 5+ years ago and they have made a huge difference in our water intake. The spout has a wide opening and it just form fits to your mouth and you can take big sips with minor effort. We had been drinking from cups or glasses with smaller straws before that and we noticed that by drinking out of the Ashland bottles we’d drain 20oz in a few minutes rather than 30 minutes. Now I keep a 32oz on hand and I’m able to drink through it 4-6 times a day. I take it to classes because it makes it so easy to hydrate and then take a Stanley 2 gallon water cooler jug to refill. Additionally, the top/straw portion will fit Hydroflask and Simple Modern stainless steel (wide mouth) tumblers. That is the one I keep around with the Ashland top. It is not a perfect seal though so it’s will leak a few drops if it turns over in the car. The one in the picture is on a 32oz Simple Modern SS tumbler (basically a less expensive hydro flask). I started typing this while getting out of bed and I’ve drained over half of it in under 10 sips. Still, it’s something you have to feel for yourself. To be impressed with the speed at which you can drink vs small straws or gulps or sipping from a cup edge.
