Water bottles are for suckers (literally)

Despite my chubbish looks, I drink more than eight cups of water per day. I down the stuff, in fact.

Since first working from home circa 2003, I regularly filled a large, blue plastic cup with H20 several times daily. Over the years, I switched to a variety of water bottles for convenience purposes — ones with narrow openings, semi-wide openings, and suck contraptions.

I’m happy to report that I’m now back to cups. It’s less work, I don’t need convenience (I work at a desk), and cups have better functionality than pobre bottles.

What was I thinking? So do you intake water from a cup or bottle during the workday?

    I drink from a pink Nalgene bottle. I’d probably use cups, but it’s just easier to carry a bottle to and from work everyday . . .

    I’ve been using cups lately, but I want to switch to a bottle. I have one of those in-door fridge filters and it takes forever to fill up a cup.

    I use a very large coffee mug. It’s psychedelic looking.

    The only thing worse than those bottle of water carry around is actual bottled water. What a waste of money.

    Long live tap water in a cup!

    Bottles. We keep them for food storage and cycle through it to keep it fresh.

    Well…I used to bring a large glass bottle into work, cause I am worried about the leaching of chemicals into my water, which sits in it’s bottle and sloshes around for about 8 hrs a day….but that thing is heavy man, expecially when i have a lot of stuff in my bag as well. So I found this thing: http://ecobags.com/Our_Products/SIGG-Water-Bottles

    anyone have any experience with these? They look good and green…I’ll probably get one.
