He has already had kidney stones and his doctor is insisting that drink more water but my father says he doesn't like the "taste" of it.

There is flavored water out there. Anything that doesn't have caffiene should work, though.

I feel the same. They say drink lots of water but that makes me hate it more and more. I crave sweet drinks then, which is bad! Maybe he could use flavoring to help him get over the "bad taste." Try the crystal light single packets. It would be a glass of water, with a fruit punch taste! And they don't have much sugar in them, which is another plus!

Well why don't you start by trying to get him to drink flavoured water? Volvic have a lovely Lemon and Lime flavoured water, its still water at the end of the day so no harm in trying that! Hope he's ok soon x

Water doesn't even have a taste. Well use flavor water packets lemonade ones are good. Or tell him that drink more fluids or you going to be in a hospital.

thats a tough one...we tend to have trouble persuading our elders that something is good for us but they tend not to listen cas they think since they elders they right which they are but sometimes we right as well ...anyway when the doctor says to drink water he actually means to drink a lot of fluids so ask ur dad to drink juice or milk or anything else he likes or even flavoured water...which should help..

Have him try Fruit2O water. Seriously though, your father is an adult and you can't force him to follow the doctor's advice if he chooses not to. Maybe you can let him know how much you care about him and let him know that it hurts you when he doesn't mind his health. Good luck.

They have water in different flavors maybe he could try that. It sounds gross to me but if he doesn't like water...
