Bottled water consumed at home

Good God. Drink the tap water. It's perfectly fine.

"Gunk" on other people's glasses? Really???

This we do not have any bottled water in our house

OP, we have the same setup you do except I also have 5 gal bottles for a backup emergency supply that are rotated into a hot/cold dispenser. Any visitor gets to use whichever water source they wish. Let this one go and police the residents. 😉

I am the OP of this thread from six years ago.

Since it got resurrected, here is an update:

The friend still comes over about once a week. Now he usually shows up with his own reusable water bottle.
I finally found the perfect reusable water bottle that I use while running errands.

Come to think of it, most visitors to our home now show up with their own drink container these days. I also bring my reusable water bottle when I visit other people at their home.

I think things have changed in the last six years and more people tote reusable water bottles around with them. Which is a good thing.

This. There’s even an app (TAPP) that helps you locate clean water filling stations anywhere in the world.

We have a water filter hooked onto our kitchen faucet. What our family does when we want to drink water at home is we get a cup out of the cupboard and fill it with filtered water from the faucet. Put ice cubes in it if we want to. We keep bottled water in the frig for times we are going out on errands and want to take water with us. And yes, we offer bottled water to company but also ask if they want filtered water in a cup. Apparently we forgot to offer filtered water to this guy the very first time he came over.

I want to tell him that I would prefer that he just get water from our faucet filter because it is way cheaper and way more environmentally friendly. And also because I have to remember to restock the bottled water in the frig before he comes over. I can't think of a polite way to bring this up.

Do you all have any suggestions?

How do you all feel about drinking bottled water at home?

If you have filtered water at your kitchen sink why do you need bottled water? Buy a couple bottles and refill at your sink.

I always offer my guests bottled water. I personally don't like using other people's cups because I don't know how clean they are. I know even my cups can have gunk on them that I don't notice as I pull out the washer. Also it feels nice to give them a little something. They can take the bottle with them and refill it. They always take it with them. It's kind of like a thank you for hanging out with me.

I'm in a state with a lot of homeless and a recycling program. Most trash bins are raided by the homeless for bottles to recycle and cash in on. So even if they don't recycle themselves, there's a good chance it will be alright.

Um, this is gross and you apparently need a new dishwasher. And no one considers a plastic bottle of water a nice gift. WTAF?

I adopted mine; am I allowed to give people shit about their impact on the environment?

A disposable water bottle as thank you for hanging out with you? This literally made me laugh out loud.

Never mind I missed the AA part.
Keep Calm and Water On

Isn’t the easy solution to just serve him and give him water in a glass? Why is he helping himself?
