If God wanted us to drink water, he wouldn’t have gave us beer. You truly are a wise man. You should write a book.

I always make sure I have a daily water source in a variety of containers. It seems I go thru a lot of water jugs as they get banged up in the farming and logging equipment. I am especially fond of the spring water on the farm. Hardly any taste to it and safe as I have it tested yearly. Some of the neighbors come by and fill up containers. That makes me thirsty!

There is still plenty time for
“Lemme tell u sompthin mister, I do concrete work”
Blah blah blah fuggin blah
This has to do with college kids and metal water bottles and them being in purely climate controlled environments
Has nothing to do with someone dropping out of homeschool in 8th grade having to lay blocks and making a living by the sweat of their brow. This is the campfire. There is no telling where the conversations may go.

Worked on a farm in high school. We had one of those big yellow igloo water cans with a big block of ice in it. And one tin cup. and everybody - white, black, mexican, texican - drank out of that one cup. You'd think today's snowflakes would embrace such an "inclusive" concept. But I seriously doubt it.

I have a couple big metal insulated water containers but I keep them at work or in the truck when hunting. The wife can't go anywhere without water though, feels parched if she doesn't have a drink every 15 minutes seems like.
I think there's a couple reasons for the popularity, especially among women. One was already mentioned, saving the planet nonsense. Second is fitness/excercise virtue signaling...they figure if they wear leggings and carry a water bottle, people will assume they are on their way to/from the gym and are like,all super healthy and stuff. I think the yoga craze started that.
Also, people (again mostly women) heard that you needed to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, and I'm pretty sure someone said it would make you skinny. 9 out of 10 women would eat white dogsheitt if someone told them it would make them skinny. The rest is fashion- its fashionable to carry a water container (set to change in type and color, just like clothes) and god forbid your average female is missing an essential fashion accessory. I think that covers it.

i think the average guy needs about a gallon to a gallon and a half per day in arizona in the summer in the heat just to maintainl you work it out if you are 20miles out in the desert. i have some gallon antifreeze jugs sporting a hand weaved coverings some of the wetbacks were using to cross the line. hey they worked, didn't find any skeletons.

I’ll admit, the wife keeps a couple dasani’s and a couple Gatorade’s in the refrigerated console in the land cruiser. She explicitly told me no beer in there though. Soooo [bleep] hateful sometimes.

Didn't read the whole thread, but a more pertinent question than that posed by the OP could be, why is Slummy snapping pics of college gals without their knowledge? Creeper....😂
I am in Montana as we speak. If I understand it correctly, it’s ok that I have a five gallon Igloo of ice water in the back of the Jeep, right? At least as long as I am in Montana?
