Just read in Shape magazine that people who drink their H2O with a straw are able to "swig" more. Interesting since I have issues with water. Maybe I should buy some straws <G>.

I find I drink more when I drink from bottles as opposed to a glass.

ME TOO!!! I love Costco water...

I only drink bottled water here at home but when we go out I always drink with a straw and usually have 2-3 glasses during dinner. I agree with the "able to swig more" theory.

I have a really neat water cup with a big straw.....the straw is about 3/8" thick. I can swig 16 oz of water in no time flat.

Drinking from a straw usually means you swallow more air, though.

I'm a big fan of the Costco spring water, too. I usually chug seven bottles a day. (I actually have a routine. Two bottles with my first meal, two with my second, and then one with each meal afterward except the last one - when I don't have any water at all, so I don't have to get up during the night).

If you break it up like that, it goes faster - at least for me. I'll even do one bite of food, one slug of water if I need to.

I'll slurp water any way I can. LOVE the stuff! It's the only craving I have these days.

I find that I drink more from a bottle, no straw. SmartWater is my favorite!
