Water bottle

I need to ask what is the point of a water bottle? They coming all different colours and do look nice but I have never used one because if I need water I just go to a shop and buy a bottle of cold water. Where's a water bottle when you have drunk all the water you have got to carry around with you an empty water bottle but where's a bottle off shop bought water you just drink the water and throw the empty container in the bin. I really do not want to be carrying around an empty water bottle when I'm going out somewhere I don't see the point and it's just one extra thing to carry

Reusable water bottles are more cost effective and more environmentally friendly.

I use one for the gym which is easy to chuck in my bag and fill when I get there, if I forget I have to use a cup which is easier to spill and not as easy to carry.

I use one or two for a long run which I do weekly and even my short ones in summer I take a little one out with me. If I had to buy them it would cost me a fortune!!

I do buy small sparkling waters to drink in the morning but I don't think there is an alternative for that, it's not like it comes out of the tap.

Get a Sodastream for your sparkling water

Does that make it just carbonated or is it like soda water with bicarb?

I always have one with me( with added vimto!) for many reasons.
lack of fluid makes me tired, and I have frequent sit downs.
saves money, plastic etc etc
Not hard to understand

I just purchased some Tupperware plastic 500 ml water bottles because this thread reminded me we need them. Ty.

It makes it exactly like fizzy water you'd get from the shop

How bloody weird to 'hate' water bottles.
You do you but most people have cottoned on to the impact of micro plastics in the environment (they have been found in placenta taken for testing 😕) and even if you don't give a monkeys nuts about the environment a reusable water bottle saves a fortune (heard of the COL crisis?) an awful lot of people can't waste £10+ per week on bottled water.
I expect you know this though and just fancied frothing people up.
