I like me some carbonated water personally, and tap water in Germany is super clean and tastes nice almost everywhere. However, I've heard of some people before that they dislike Sodastreams for some reason or another. What gives?

Not the bottle, but the whole content of it spilled in my backpack. Filled my bottle purposely for the way home, as the water from a station at work is refreshingly cool and tasty.

Raise your glasses to the lost quencher of thirst!

Title says it all. I'm looking for serious electrolyte powder, drink, supplement, DIY that is GLUTEN FREE. For when water isn't hydrating enough due to an underlying medical condition Celiac disease. I hope this is OK to post. I can easily drink 1.5 gallons a day and gain no relief from horrible dehydration. I'll also share my water bottle soon as I can!

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

I have a one gallon bottle like a true homie, but the rubber stopper started developing these black spots and no matter how much i scrub it and soke it. Any suggestions how to clean it and anything I can do to prevent it from happening again?

I know you guys got some cool bottles with stickers and stuff. Let me see all those hydrflasks, klean kanteens, nalgenes, zojirushis, etc!

I want to get better at consuming water and I think my biggest downfall is water quality currently. The water where I live is very hard (and constantly getting polluted thanks 3M) and while I can usually trust what we do at home, there's no way I can trust my work to properly filter the water they provide us. I remember using a filtered water bottle back in high school but I lost that at some point. While I've done some research into what's available results were inconclusive. Any homies got any recommendations for me?

In a Victory for Poland Spring, Maine Rejects New Groundwater Limits

The bottled-water company last year tried to kill legislation aimed at protecting aquifers at a time when many are at risk nationally.

Maine’s Legislature voted down a bill that would have limited large-scale pumping of groundwater in the state. Poland Spring, the bottled-water giant, had lobbied aggressively against the measure.

The proposal would have placed a 10-year limit on large-scale water-extraction contracts, a restriction that the bill’s supporters said would protect Maine’s precious groundwater at a time when water levels are falling across the country. It failed to pass on Thursday by a 21-to-12 vote in the State Senate.

Poland Spring, a major presence in Maine, draws water from eight locations around the state to bottle and sell. It is trying to lock in a new contract of up to 45 years to pump water in Lincoln, a former mill town.

BlueTriton — which owns Poland Spring and other major bottled-water brands, including Arrowhead and Deer Park — lobbied against the changes. Last year, The New York Times reported that the company wrote, and circulated among legislators, a proposed amendment that would have gutted the bill.

You people are so wrong! I have a bottle I keep fresh air in and have some at least once per hour.

Now that's proper healthy!

Water will make your skin wrinkly. Water will drown you.

Air does none of those things.
