Drinking more water 💧 (update)

So I've been trying to figure out how to get myself to drink more water. As a (recovering?) soda addict, plain water is just so unappetizing I'll just drink nothing if that's all I have. But flavored waters almost always have some kind of sweetener in them and there is not a non-high-fructose-corn-syrup sweetener that I can stand. Awhile ago I discovered hint water, which is great! Except that it's pretty expensive and I really hate contributing to the single-use plastics problem. After hearing about air up from a handful of YouTubers, I decided to give it a shot! It's a special water bottle with scent pods that basically scents the water as you drink it, rather than actually adding anything to the water. It took a little getting used to, but now that I've got the hang of it, I like it alot! I've had it a few days now and have drunk 1 1/2 bottles of water each day (as opposed to a sip here and there when my mouth feels too dry for soda).
