I've noticed (and maybe I'm super late to the party) that more and more people carry around metal/plastic/glass water bottles.

What's the point? I drink water at home and occasionally have a tea or something throughout the day. They also seem to be the same people who complain about being thirsty all the time. I don't carry a water bottle and I'm never thirsty, but these people always are. What the hell is going on???

Everyone is different and everyone arrives exactly when they are meant to arrive. Judging others as "early" or "late" may cause insecurities and unintentionally result in hurt feelings.

Have you considered that maybe different people have different tactile sensory difficulties? Maybe someone has a plastic allergy that you are not aware of.

Judging others water drinking habits based on your own water drinking behaviors is a thinking error. A fallacy. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy hydration as long as it is in a healthy range.

Perhaps these other thirsty people are taking medications that cause dry mouth. Maybe they have some other medical condition that causes excess thirst. Just because you are able to maintain homeostasis requirements with less water does not give you the right to stand in judgement.

Using words like "always" and "never" are hyperbolic and deceitful. Try thinking of other ways to phrase your discomfort with the situation.

Companies found out that if people want to be environmentally conscious then there's profit to be had. Remember the Stanley trend? People fighting over trendy colors at Target so they could show off their collection on TikTok so everyone could see they had a new toy to show off with that stupid Watertok thing. Mixing up five different chemical crap drink mix packets with a bunch of different syrups and having the gall to still call it water. I don't think it's a good idea to have that much artificial sweetener in one sitting. Especially when they would use sugar free syrups to be "healthy".

I walk a lot. I'm the kind of asshole who has to be told not to skip arm day. So when I walk for miles at a time, I bring a stainless steel water bottle to make sure I at least stay partially hydrated.

It's reusable and it can be clipped onto my lanyard when low or empty.

I live in a desert that can get up to 112f, sometimes higher. My shitty overpriced $20 vacuum sealed goy bottle is the only thing keeping me from getting heat stroke half the time by keeping the water cold for more than 3 minutes.

I'm allowed to be rhetorically hyperbolic, you fucking autistic cow. It's called having fun.
