What is best besides water to keep you hydrated?

I lived in Hawai'i for 12 years and I've NEVER had a coconut taste like sweat or motor oil. A sweaty mechanic must have been dumping his dirty oil at the base of the coconut tree from which you get your coconutsAdria's right..Sports Drinks are a big NO ..they're hypertonic and laden with sugar..bad news for rehydrating.
the best coconut milk...the REAL Deal..a coconut ..it is nasty..most tastes like a combo of motor oil and sweat..
My daughter works at a big artisan grocery store chain and brought me some Amy & Brain's she drinks..it was palatble, sweet not too bad.
what I do is a big "sippy cup" of water all the time, and you'll get used to..I wasn't a fan of just water, I'd doctor it with lemon or lime and some sweet&low or something (don't do equal it gives me those thunderclap headaches if I use it too much) or hell a teaspoon of sugar added to half and half any fruit juice, grape, orange, etc. if sugar isn't an issue for you..don't go nuts.
I get teased about my "sippy cups" but I've never had vapors tongue or any of that other ick stuff from dehydration.

A man after my own heart. I drink tea, usually iced, sometimes hot, all day every day. I usually make my own iced tea from scratch, but for iced tea lovers like myself, I can tell you that Gold Peak brand iced tea tastes the closest to fresh brewed than any other brand.
That and water. I can't stand coffee. I have a coke maybe twice a week, and some fruit juice every other day or so. But to me there's nothing better than a strong menthol vape and a cold glass of iced tea. They compliment each other wonderfully.
/end thread. This is all you need to know. Squeeze a lemon or lime in the water if you don't like the taste.

I put lemon, aka realemon in water a lot of times. It's an aquired taste. Add sugar and you have lemonade. I try to stay away from sugar though, you get enough in normal foods.
Gold peak is pretty good for mass produced.
But at home either black or oolong, love my tea
I sometimes enjoy a cup of decaf coffee, after a big meal, with dessert. And I have a "Smocha" vape I created that's like a cross between an after-dinner smoke and after-dinner cup of coffee. My only problem with coffee is that after I have one cup, I taste it all the rest of the day, no matter what else I eat or drink or what hygienic activities I perform -- the taste of that coffee, even decaf, doesn't leave my awareness until it's actually completely gone from my system -- 12-24 hrs. 
Vaping that flavor doesn't seem to stay with me so intensely; I actually use that "Smocha" as a palate cleanser, since it's not terribly sweet, kinda bitter-ish. After that, my strawberry tastes yummy and sweet again.

you guys realize tea and coffee are diuretics and make you pee off more than you actually take in from it (caffeine) I guess if you went decaf then sure.
I had to go pee, and missed it, what were you saying?
Except for extreme cases of comsumption thats actually been proven false. In blind studies when people said they went more often its becuase they drank more
10 cups a day of Twinings English Breakfast had me going every 15-20 minutes -- 2 cups of it in the morning and decaf tea the rest of the day, and it's down to a very reasonable hour-ish.

Actually, you should look into the organic coffee flush. It's a whole body detox.Alternating tea with water makes for a great detox
Not to mention how great espresso and vaping go together
I prefer white rum and coke or Grey Goose and anything that looks like it could add flavor if I were to allow anybody to put enough in my drink.
But more often than not, it's just java from dawn to dusk in my cup.
Though, we do have a masticating juicer, a wide mouth juicer and a citrus press. So when I'm home I get my share of kale and carrot infused tastiness and fresh almond milk.
ETA: In a pinch, kettle one or belvedere will do, but that's about it.

Water, water and more water.
There is nothing better then water when it comes to hydration.
Consuming any type of sugar based drinks on regular basis to stay hydrated, will bring you closer to higher sugar blood level, you will gain unhealthy weight and over time you will join diabetes club.
If you dont want a prosthetic leg, then please continue to drink water to stay hydrated. Its cheaper and better for you.
Gatorade is designed for people who are physically active. Do you run 5k, 3 times a week? Then you shouldnt be drinking it in the first place!!
And lifting a spoon to feed your self, is not an exercise. So why are you drinking your self in to cancer? Might as well drink a six pack every night before bed time.

In my experience, as long as you are healthy, anything that doesn't have alcohol in it will hydrate you. No added sugar or sweeteners is a good thing, but that doesn't have anything to do with hydration. Avoid too much caffeine, but caffeine does not nearly negate the hydrating effect of the liquid it's in. Keep in mind too, every liquid we can drink is mostly water.
Now, if you have a medical issue that makes hydration difficult, it's a whole other ballgame

There is absolutely no replacement for water, period.
Your urine should be clear. If its yellow in any way, you aren't drinking enough water.... The darker the worse.
If you get thirsty, you are ALREADY dehydrated.
Flavored drinks are a treat, not a staple/hydration method. Whether you like the taste of water or not isn't relevant (though of it tastes bad, you should probably find a different source), your body needs it. If you aren't drinking much water now, you will be surprised at how much better you will generally feel once you start.
