+1 water fountain and milk bought at the cafeteria at lunch for us. My son wasn’t drinking the water much anyway. Shrug. I didn’t haul water bottles everywhere as a kid. I personally feel it’s gotten overkill. I will further disgust everyone and say when we go out as a family we bring 1-2 bottles and just share them and refill them as needed. Sooo much simpler.
Though I may buy the owala people recommended for sports!
If you live somewhere where the water fountains still work and are decently maintained, jolly good for you. Plenty of people can’t force their broke local governments and corporate America to invest in water fountains, but maybe you live in a wealthy corridor apart from the rest of us.
The post was about schools mam/sir. Pretty sure your schools have water fountains. As for filling up my own, I literally fill them in bathroom sinks sometimes I honestly probably have much lower standards than the average.

Nalgene and S’well, these are the only ones I’ve found don’t have moldy issue. I use very hot water to wash each daily and let dry. For S’well just remove the seal practice ring daily to to wash/ dry and put back so it doesn’t get moldy.
