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

Get a Soda Stream. Better for the environment.

This thread is fried tuna sandwich worthy. I am dying laughing.

Lady, you sound just like my ex-wife.

OP, get some therapy.

He buys them himself, lugs them himself. Done.

To be clear, it's not the 6-pack of tiny bottles, I'm talking big 1L bottle tables are supposed to share. I was raised that sparkling water is more-so a palate cleanser, it's uncouth to lap it up like you just finished a sportball match. Drives me up a wall to see all those empty 1L bottles stacking up.

Oh, OP. I was having a bad day, but this, this is really warming my soul. I'm going to hold this tidbit close to my heart. Thank you.

+1. I am clutching my pearls and am headed to the fainting couch just thinking about this uncouth display.

I'm a DH and I drink at least 2L of sparkling water a day, though I use a Sodastream.

You're getting mad at him for drinking _water_? That's the best thing to drink!

Anyway, if you don't want to lug bottles, have Ready Refresh do it.. home delivery.

His Perrier "habit" is a whole lot cheaper than if he had a Starbucks habit!

You need a certified addiction specialist. Sparkling water is a gateway drink.

I can relate only in the Perrier addiction and no soda stream solution. My husband has it too. It's all he'll drink besides beer and coffee. So I thought, "I'll help, get him a soda stream, he'll love it!" He hated it, never once used it.

Never occurred to me to be annoyed with him for it. Buys cases of it from Costco. Wish we weren't producing that much recycling, but not my hill to die on. I don't even touch it.

yes, yes. : )

I think the bolded may become a DCUM classic. “Uncouth to lap it up” just reminds me of a dog drinking - does he do that OP?

If you post your address, we could all send a little Perrier for the poor guys Christmas. Who’s in?

[Anonymous]

HE should buy and transport them.

That is all.

Just let the man drink his perrier lady. You're lucky if you don't have any bigger fish to fry

I can do better--I buy my DH la croix, he opens it, takes two sips from the can and then abandons it. It's a innovative way to waste money and trash I tell you what!

I also have the same sparkling water addiction but i’m a woman. I drink 1L straight from the bottle - No shame- and frequently drink a second after dinner. My husband goes out into the freezing cold garage in the evening to get my liter of Whole Foods sparkling water and then he stocks up the indoor fridge before work if my supply is depleted. I notice these gestures every single time. For a happier life, be more like my husband!
