The practice of carrying water bottles is an affectation copied from the practices of screen stars. That is all. Hence i never do it.

Take the above and add in a desire to not use disposable plastic bottles (for health and environmental reasons) and everyone's carrying a reusable bottle.


No doctor has EVER asked me about my water consumption.

+1 I have never been asked about water consumption.


I'm in my late 50s, and in the many years I've been going to the doc regularly, I've never had anyone ask me about how much water I drink. That's nonsense.


I'm the same age with blood clotting issues. Dehydration is a big issue for that.

Ah yes, there it is. Anything women do makes them pea-brained


In 2021 Stanley was sold to Morgan Street Holdings, a holding company and private investment group. Right after, the ruthless financiers got you dopes addicted to their Chinese made mugs by a marketing and ad blitz. You're not all randomly spontaneously collecting and addicted to those damn mugs like they're your blankie. You're brainwashed sheep.


I don't even own a Stanley mug, and the only place I carry a water bottle is in the gym and to work (federal building, the water is not ok). I still think you're a sexist idiot for targeting things that women like. It's so predictable - whenever something becomes popular with women, out come the sheep bleating about it and how it demonstrates that women are sooo dumb. Just go back to mindlessly wearing your boat shoes, khakis, and tech vests and leave women alone.

It's the Girl Boss tic. You HAVE to sip from your Stanley every 90 seconds when on a Zoom meeting.

In Madrid for the last month and American women of all ages clutching their water bottles — at the hotel, walking about, just pretty much at all times of the day except going out at night.

Are American women uniquely dehydrated?


FYI, it is not always water in them. I see patrons at Starbucks in the morning having the barista put their coffee (or lattes?) directly into those tumblers. And I also know parents who sip mixed drinks and wine out of them at youth sports matches and practices.

Oh it's not a huge environmental flex to own a dozen heavy, manufactured, non-recyclable status-bottles that had to be shipped on a diesel freighter from the other side of the world, of which you have a "favorite" while the others all sit around unused. If you owned ONE water bottle you'd maybe have an argument. But be honest, water-addicts: How many stanleys, yetis, hydroflasks, and owalas have you had shipped to you from China?



You sound…not lovely. I have 3 water bottles I bought at Costco 8 years ago. I play tennis, pickleball and golf—I need water. It’s not a crime.


No, but it is kind of dumb.

They think it projects 'I'm better than you' self-discipline, youth, vitality and health to strangers -- and trend-following hipness, of course.

No, but the all think they are, running around with their emotional support bottles like their toddlers drinking milk.

I went through all 5 pages of posts and it was difficult to figure out which was the most ridiculous to respond to. I am a huge water drinker and I feel terrible on days I skip. I love water and you’ll pry my bottle from my cold dead hands. But like all things DCUM this is a competition, I guess. You win! You are better than me. But you are bothered by something that does not affect you in the least. So in reality, you are the big time loser.

Wow. I didn’t realize guzzling water could be addictive! Guess you really can be addicted to anything.


Why do you eat everyday? Are you addicted to food?


You know perfectly well that many people are addicted to food. That's what it means when people eat things that they know are bad for them, or eat past the point of satiation, and even into discomfort.

And of course people can be addicted to drinking water. Sometimes to their detriment.


What’s the detriment?

They may be concerned about drinking the water if they are tourists. Not even that the water is contaminated but that they aren’t used to it and it will cause them to become sick. Water bottles are popular in the us because water fountains are largely gone and even water at home from the tap tastes bad.
