The Best Large Water Bottles to Help You Stay Hydrated

How much water we actually need to drink isn’t as cut-and-dried as you think. We get hydration from a variety of sources, including food and non-water beverages like juice and milk. The amount of water each person needs is based on a wide variety of factors, including diet, weight and exercise. Some people may find that they feel hydrated enough without having to track or think about water intake.

But there are also plenty of people who find the opposite: If you start your day with a coffee, grab a soda at lunch and have a glass of wine at dinner you could easily (and perhaps accidentally) go the whole day without drinking water. And while this is unlikely to cause serious health problems in the short-term, not being properly hydrated can have negative effects on your day-to-day. Hydration can relieve headaches, boost your mood and energy levels, and even potentially boost your metabolism.

If you want to boost your water intake but have a hard time remembering to keep a glass full, one easy method is to get a really big water bottle. Fill it once (or twice_ and sip throughout the day. Extra-large water bottles can also come in handy anywhere drinking water may be harder to come by — like on a picnic or at the beach — and many look cool enough that you’ll actually want to lug them around. Whatever your reason for wanting lots of H2O on hand, we’ve got you covered with our top picks for large water bottles.
