Argument stemming from husband's Perrier sparkling water addiction. Who's in the wrong?

Anonymous
Husband drinks a 1L bottle of Perrier every night, sometimes cracking an additional one after dinner. As in, the size we use for the table, he will grab his own and drink the entire thing during dinner, while the rest of the table is content to share one 1L bottle. They only cost about $1-2/each, but it bothers me so much. I encourage him to just drink still filtered tap if he's so dehydrated but he refuses. I do the shopping, so lugging all the 1L bottles every week is a real chore, plus recycling all of them, and isn't it sort of gluttonous and unseemly. I think he started cracking the additional bottles after dinner just to tick me off.

They're cheaper than a Starbucks habit.

He buys them himself, lugs them himself. Done.

Get a Soda Stream.

He's an adult - you can't really dictate what he drinks. You CAN stop buying it and if he wants it, he can go out and get it if it's really an inconvenience.

Maybe get a soda stream to make your own carbonated water?

Have Amazon deliver to your doorstep. Leave there for DH to move inside. Problem solved. Anything else dearie?

Have them auto-shipped from Amazon

Sorry... this is ridiculous. Why can’t he have a bottle of sparkling water per day? Would a bottle of coke or wine be better for you? Find a way to get it delivered to your house and leave you poor husband alone

Buy enough for dinner for the week, and when you’re out serve tap water.

You are clearly in the wrong.

He can do the shopping himself. There is no need for you to literally do the heavy lifting on that front.

I second the Sodastream idea.
