Keeping an insulated water bottle around to drink from. How do people go to sleep knowing they either have to get up to take a drink or settle for some lukewarm side table water from a glass or plastic bottle??? Not to mention the waste I see with people using disposable water bottles (which have the time and place of course, but at home ain’t it.)

To add: drink water throughout the day in general. Especially where tap water is safe to drink. You're going to pass up the opportunity to improve your health and daily wellbeing, easily and for free? WHY?

Random side note. I actually prefer room temperature water. Sensitive teeth. And i try to keep my backpack as light, so it's a one layer water bottle for me.

If I’m doing any kind of physical activity it has to be room temp or my stomach complains. But otherwise I like it a bit cold. And I agree on the weight thing, if I’m camping or otherwise away from convenience, I want a single walled, lighter container.

I use a half gallon insulated metal water bottle/jug and it's incredible. I love it so much, and I couldn't go back to even a normal sized one. I drink easily a half gallon a day now. I'm about to upgrade to a 1 gallon, because the lid on my half gallon is difficult to open, and the 1 gallon has a much better lid. I know it seems ridiculous, but it made a carry bag for it with a strap to wear almost like a messenger bag. I can carry all my shit and get hydrated at the same time. So fantastic.

Also, buzio is the brand on Amazon (I know. God, I know, but we don't have a lot of options where I live. If anyone knows a better one, I'd love to hear it). They're great. Everyone in my family has one in different sizes

My family does Iron Flask but any insulated bottle will do. I also started on a small 20oz and upgraded to 40 and it’s still not enough haha.

Yeah, I started with 32, upgraded to 40, and then decided screw it and jumped to a half gallon. I keep the 40 around for when I make smoothies or something. It's oversized, but it has a straw and keeps everything nice and cold

Best side effect of the insulated bottles is not having to use a coaster because they don't sweat.

settle for some lukewarm side table water

Lmao

I never drink in the night. Why is that even a thing? Are you some sort of frog that needs to be kept wet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I really enjoy a swig of fresh chill water in the middle of the night. I wouldn’t mind being a frog, seems like I would have much less to worry about.
