[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The answer is: because UMC people no longer sip soda as they did in the past. [/b] Soda machines used to be everywhere.  Cans of soda were cheap and machines were plentiful.  Now we are anti-sugar and drink water instead.

Also, because public infrastructure has crumbled and maintenance of public water fountains, if they exist at all, is sketchy.  We are more germ-aware than ever before.  Even if you can find a decent water fountain many people don't want to drink from it.

Also, we have extended fitness culture into popular culture--water bottles are like leggings--once seen only in the gym they have migrated everywhere.

Also, it might not just be water in the bottle.  I sneak wine into places you wouldn't normally find it.[/quote]
What? Before the early 2000s, people didn’t have a constant need to drink all day long. It wasn’t that they were chronically dehydrated and they definitely weren’t walking around drinking soda as a substitute all the time.

We drank water during meals, an occasional glass of water/milk at home outside of meals, and a cup of coffee at work in the am. [/quote]

I had my first kid in 2001 and started guzzling water then. Breastfeeding made me so thirty and I never stopped. I actually think people WERE chronically dehydrated and didn’t know it. [/quote]
