Do you use a refillable water bottle?

[tvguy]

I am on Jury Duty and seems like everyone is carrying a refillable water bottle of some sort. Some are downright huge. I looked one up online that I saw today and it holds 64 ounces of water!
My wife has a refillable water bottle that holds 24 ounces. I just refill a 16.9 ounce bottled water bottle.
Do you carry a refillable water bottle with you, and how much does it hold?

 

[disneychrista]

I don't carry one with me but I have one sitting on my desk at work. It is 20 ounces, I think.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

I, also, just refill a 16 oz bottle I've purchased. Or I use my 24 oz cold cup, sometimes. Or just use the 6 oz plastic bottle that fits in my purse. Depends on how long I'm going to be out and about.

 

[disykat]

I voted 16 to 24 oz because that's what I carry most often. However, I admit that if I did something like jury duty where I wouldn't know if I would have a good water source for most of the day, I might carry my 32 oz. one. 64 oz could cause a need for urgent bathroom breaks!

We pretty much always have reusable water bottles with us in the car if we go anywhere out of our immediate area. We also have one for the dog if she's with us.

I don’t normally take water along with me wherever I go. Only when specific circumstances require it. Jury duty wouldn’t be one of those times. I have brought some along at times when traveling or going to the beach or pool for the day. When I do need to bring water along, I too fill an empty water (16.9 oz) or Gatorade (older 32 oz ones, as they now seem to be 28 oz) bottle. Thus far I haven’t purchased one of those insulated water bottles.

I have one - I think it's probably 32 oz. I take it to and from work everyday with ice water in it. I also have a couple of the big cups with straws (like Stanley cups, but not Stanley brand) that I use sometimes too - I think they are 40ish ounces.

I do not carry a water bottle, but I carry a Stanley Cup, like 40oz... I put pop in it, not water tho. I know I SHOULD be drinking more water.

 

[willowsnn3]

No, because I rarely drink water. I do buy bottled water by the large case & usually make sure I have a bottle handy just in case.

 

[Meriweather]

I don't carry one daily around with me. I just have a glass of water with me all the time. At home and in the car.

But when I am going somewhere for longer, like Disney parks, on cruises, traveling by car for a vacation, etc., I always take one and fill it with ice and bottled water.
I use a 24-30 ounce one. We have about 10 different ones.

 

[WDW Traveler]

Mine goes with me pretty much wherever I go. I leave it in the car a lot shopping, etc. But I like cold water, so I fill this with ice and water and it's good for the day (or longer).

 

[kdonnel]

I should, I really should, but I find them gross.

I drink water, lots of water, 8+ 16.9oz bottles a day of Aldi PurAqua.

I am the micro plastic problem.

 

[soccerdad72]

We have a variety of them, but the main one at my desk at work as well as the one I take with me other places are both 24 oz., I think.

My neighbor has been making a point of getting a certain amount of water each day (128 oz, I think). He has one of those giant water bottles with times listed down the side to show where he should be during the day. He fills it in the morning and his goal is always to have it finished by the time he goes to bed.

It's something like this:

 

[lynxstch]

I'm not a water drinker in general, but I know I should be drinking more. My best friend sent me a Stanley 30 oz for my birthday and I find I've been drinking a lot more. It's the iceflow one. I put regular filtered water from the fridge in it yesterday morning and at noon it was still very cold. I filled it 3x yesterday, that's an ocean for me, lol.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Mine is 32 oz. I switch to that after my morning decaf coffee. Travels with me on vacations, goes along on any car ride, stays on my nightstand at night in case I wake up and need a sip. I don't think I know anyone that doesn't carry around something like that.

I have volunteered at various outdoor events in the summer and they often give out a gift package that includes one of those trendy water bottles. IF I am going to be working somewhere outdoors in hot weather without easy access to facilities for food/snacks/water, I will take my own with me. If I am just going shopping around town then no, I don't. Never saw the point for any healthy adult to be constantly drinking water. Similarly, when at home I never buy/use bottled water. Seems like a gigantic waste of money to buy 'filtered tap water' and pay 100x what it costs to get water from a faucet in addition to all of those plastic bottles that likely end up in landfills.

 

[TippyThomas]

I carry a rather large one when I'm out biking. I believe it's around 38 to 40 ounces. I'd rather have too much water than not enough when I'm out and about on the bike.

 

[soccerdad72]

Never saw the point for any healthy adult to be constantly drinking water.

Part of being a healthy adult is drinking a fair amount of water, IMO.

 

[design_mom]

I have several. The one that I use daily is a 24 oz (or maybe 20-- EDIT: it's 20oz. I just checked) stainless steel insulated bottle. I really like *ice* water, and it will keep my water icy all day. A plastic water bottle won't do that and honestly, water from a drinking fountain usually isn't as cold as I'd like either.

I have a larger one that I use if we're going to be out in the sun for a long time with no place to refill it (like the beach, etc.) but I prefer the smaller one for every day.

If the water is there and cold, I will drink it. If it's not, I'll either not drink anything, or I'll go find something better-tasting (and more calories) than water. So I try to keep it with me.

 

[Cadiewampus]

I don't carry one with me but I have one sitting on my desk at work. It is 20 ounces, I think.

Me as well. Well I guess technically I do carry it. I carry from my car to my desk and back

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I only carry a water bottle, a Brita, if I'm at WDW or some other place where I'd need it. Here I keep it on my desk. It's 32 ounces and I just fill it from the tap because our drinking water is pretty good.
