>I know it’s arguably the best beverage to consume

Not arguably, it factually is.

I've also never understood the concept of being "bored" with water. Not everything in life has to be a sensual experience. Why not drink it because its good for you and save the flavoured beverages as treats?

The answer to your question was in the post you replied to

> It just doesn’t satisfy cravings.

Not to mention they said they do drink water - just of the sparkling variety, which does satisfy their cravings.

some of us are really bad at doing things, even good/healthy things, unless we get a dopamine response. so 99% of my "water intake" is really coffee, tea, or artificially sweetened soda.

I drink a sparkling water or tea during my boring work. I want to make drinking a bit fun than a boring water.
