It’s not benign. Water drinking is evolving into an obsession & fad. Just as cigarette smokers in the workplace think they are owed numerous breaks, waterholics spend lots of time f’ing around with their paraphernalia. And students whose jug runs dry in the middle of class just HAVE to get a refill or they will supposedly risk health problems.

Yes, water and cigarettes are certainly comparable. 🙄

Totally aside from how dumb people look wrapping their lips around those gross, rubbery straws, and slurping like toddlers with a sippy, I would like to ban metal water bottles for the disruption alone.

We provide glasses. This ain't preschool.

Water is good for you. much better than drinking soda and caffeinated beverages all day. It helps satiate you after a meal so you’ll eat less overall. Has zero calories or “fake calories” from diet drinks. I do not have a sweet tooth so I don’t crave sugary tasting drinks all day, I prefer bitter coffee or just water.

The disposable cups create too much waste and having a dedicated bottle with you is easier than cups since it doesn’t spill and you can take it with you when commuting. Plus having a larger bottle means less refills. I use cups around the house and we often mix them up between us, plus require refills more often.

Bottles are just better

Oh bull. It's to posture and pretend to be healthier and better for the environment. The same kids and adults addicted to their adult sippy cups are addicted to ordering DoorDash slop 5+ times a week, delivered by some peasant class gig worker.

Well look at you inventing fiction about a huge group of people you don't know. Please.

Yes, there is. We are smarter than you.

Unlikely.

Well, I'm not sitting in meetings laughing at people drinking water, so I feel pretty confident that I am much smarter than you. I have much more important things to worry about.

I believe it's a neurological tic nitwits have had programmed into their thick skulls by doom scrolling on social media and YouTube. Dovetails on all of these low watts believing they have a debilitating anxiety disorder and the sipping helps comfort them.

I really wonder what it's like to live ina brain that functions like this. I can't fathom why anyone would write such detailed fiction in their heads about why people... drink water?

I mean, if you want to go down the oral tic rabbit hole, it arguably it replaced the oral tic people had in the 20th century of smoking? People used to do that pretty constantly. But drinking water doesn't make places smell or expose anyone to second hand smoke so it's a good development.

You wonder what it's like to have a brain that functions? Got it. You think every shopping trend and viral social media "thing" is organic and just appears from thin air? And it's just a pure coincidence all of these tumbler companies are owned by hedge funds now? You are a sucker. And probably protecting because you're an infantile sipper who is handcuffed to a 10lb water jug all day.

I already explained it, dude. No water = Braxton Hicks contractions. My OB would probably find your rant funny, though.

I was pregnant three times in the 90s. Not once did I see any other expecting mothers handcuffed to an adult sippy cup.

How did that affect you?

Proved you were full of crap !
