Your body needs its daily dose of water. It flushes out toxins and helps the body's natural elimination (perspiration, urination...). Otherwise you could put real stress on your kidneys, get super constipated (yuck!), have headaches, bad breath and generally feel crummy.
Eight glasses is a minimum!
If you can't stomach water alone, try squeezing some lemon into it, or brew it into herbal (caffeine-free) tea and drink it warm or cold.
Another way to get water is to boil up a COVERED pot of vegetables (carrots, onions, potatoes, leeks, garlic, for example) until the veggies are soft. Then STRAIN the juice into a container and TOSS OUT the vegetables. Flavor with a little salt -- if you must. The veggie water is rich in vitamins and minerals and can be drunk warm or cold. It may have a few calories (which water does NOT) but it's very healthy, tasty and helps you meet your water requirement.
Drinking enough water is especially important if you live in a hot climate or do a lot of physical activity. Dehydration is apparently a very unpleasant way to die.

Sad to say but yes. One thing that might help is to flavor your water with some either Crystal Light or store brand drink mix. They are really good. I was bad about not drinking water but with these I drink maybe 10 to 12 glasses a day now with these. I hope you can find a way to fix your dilemma.

It's not necessarily bad, but it isn't really good either; I'm no water lover, but you should drink at least a glass a day, because you need to hydrate your body. You can be hospitalized due to dehydration - soda, coffee, gatorade, and even some juices don't cut it.

Yes not drinking enough water or no water can be linked to having headaches, and depression.
