Shaggar posted:even if it was it would be an incredible outlier and buying water from the same store you're getting the soda would be cheaper I’ve not done any kind of actual comparison but it seems like I’ve casually noticed in the past that a two liter of pop is cheaper than a liter of bottled water

water here is two dollars per cubic metre (a thousand litres) now, delivery charges, sewer surcharges and infrastructure fees, on the other hand... Jabor posted:it could be more affordable than the one-off charge to get the water reconnected.

Even among water drinkers you have a bunch of people who drink exclusively from single use plastic water bottles which is not great.

Sniep posted:this notion of "not drinking water" is completely new to me years ago i was curious about the 8 glasses of water a day recommendation. it's actually not clear from research that it's inherently healthier to drink a lot of water, and you can get enough water from your regular diet, especially if you eat foods that contain a significant amount of liquid like fruit or yogurt or what have you. i drink water and tea some, especially if i'm exercising but often i just don't drink much
