Better options!

• Here are a few ideas for how you can incorporate
  more water rather than sugary drinks into your
  lifestyle.
• Add a slice of orange, lemon, lime, or cucumber
  to your water for zero calories and lots of
  flavor.
• Choose water over sweetened beverages at the
  vending machine
• Keep water at your desk, in the car, and in your
  bag to have it when you need it. Before long
  youll find yourself reaching for it without a
  second thought.
• Dont like the taste of water? Use a straw. You
  wont taste water as much, because it will skip
  part of your tongue.
• If you like the bubbly aspect of soda and want to
  get your daily water needs, try drinking
  seltzer/club soda/carbonated soda. Seltzer also
  comes in lots of different flavors too.
