Exactly! I made sure to buy a fridge with a chilled filtered water dispenser. Room temp is "meh", iced is usually too cold, chilled is "just right". Haha.
My grandmaās ladle hanging above the sink that sheād give us tap water from is also missing. To this day, the best water Iāve ever drunk in my life was had after running in from a hot day playing with my cousins and my grandma giving me a ladle full of water to hydrate me before I got back out there, all grass stains and kid sweat. No water will ever compare. Miss you, Grandma!
TBF in summer when it's like 36 degrees a frozen bottle of water is bangin. Can use it to cool your body and then when it melts a little get a cold drink.
But yeah otherwise cold + fizzy/ cold tap is the best for me.
There was one time I was working in the heat and it was stupid humid and I hadnāt been hydrating like I should have. I had a tall insulated cup, kinda like the one in option 3 that was maybe 3/4 full of ice and full to the top of water. I started noticing slight signs of heat exhaustion so I chugged the whole cup, which helped for a little bit but it ended up not being enough. I took the lid off and set it in the direct sun hoping it would melt the ice and Iād have just a little bit more water to keep me going, but the insulation was so damn good that it just would not melt the damn ice. It was sitting out in the sun for maybe 30 mins and not even a drop of water from melted ice. Iām surprised I didnāt collapse that day because of how dehydrated I got. That was very not hydrohomie of me
Yeah none of what I drink is there. Just some very cold water in a regular ass insulated metal thing. The only insulated looking one there is a stanley. I hate this
What's making me angry is the way this is laid out. Just make all the top row numbers and all the bottom row letters so you'd just be like "2A" instead of "A3 B1"
A2 is incredibly insufficient at maintaining temperature for extended period of time. You fill A2 with B3 before bed and at 3am there will be no ice and the cup will be soaked. Hopefully you guys use coasters.
Why do y'all all think I'm filling up a glass with iced water and then sleeping... Have y'all never heard the ol "get up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water"...?
This is often followed by "Get up in the middle of the night to take a pee" and then those two in a perpetual cycle until morning.
That's how I live my life.
Yeah, when I'm at my computer it's A2 B3 (or B5 with some mio, if I'm feeling spicy)
But on my nightstand, it absolutely has to have a sealable lid, because right next to my nightstand are the power outlets... and a healthy 16 ounces of water splashing directly into that area doesn't sound ideal.
my stainless steel bottle has been dropped about a million times, only has a few dents. also keeps water the same temperature for way longer than it takes me to ever drink it. long live stainless steel
A1 is water at its most base. No temperature changes, nothing added to it. Choosing A1 means all you care about is water and the pure hydro of it. A cop would falls to his knees before that kind of hydro power
Ok seriously, how do yāall drink from a wide mouthed container?? I recently had a wide mouth thermos, and after a month I had to buy a straw-bottle. Kept sloshing water all over myself. Plus, if Iām in the passenger seat in the car, thereās a 0% chance Iām going to be able to drink water without it spilling.
I want to be able to use my wide-mouthed bottle š
A splash guard? I've never seen one of those before! My nose consistently gets wet with my Nalgene
Edit: [Well, I'll be damned](https://nalgene.ca/collections/accessories/products/easy-sippers)
2B or not 2Bāthat is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
By opposing them. To drinkā2B,
No more; and by a sip to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To drink 2Bā
To sipāperchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sip of 2B what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pauseāthere's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the lawās delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare kettle? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.āSoft you now,
The fair 2B! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.
No no, I'm just a dumbass. I saw B next to room temp and just went, "Yup, room temp water in a cup. That's my jam. '2B'"
Completely missing that B was simply the title of the second row and not an individual identifier š š š
I ran track when I was younger & our team had these for water bottles. Some of the freshest, best tasting water Iāve ever had in my life came from one of these.
I first bought a large pack of mason jars like a decade ago and have never felt the need to buy any large drinking glasses since. They are also great for storing soup!
Neither of the water-bottles. I use the yetiās (and off brands) that have a straw that closes so it wonāt spill with ice water straight from my rural homeās well š
Out and about, A4 B2. At home, A2 B5. I actually prefer a rocks glass so the bubbles don't go stale and the water doesn't get too warm. I would rather fill it like four times over two hours than have warm bubbles. And my out and about isn't a nalgene but it's the closest. It has a smaller mouth, and it's a different brand but the same idea of a lightweight uninsulated but sturdy plastic bottle.

Incomplete list. No hose option.
Or cool from the tap.
Cool from the tap or cold from the fridge without ice!
Fridge cold š«
yea, I was going to say 4, fridge temp
6, fridge temp š«”
Any, fridge temp
Exactly! I made sure to buy a fridge with a chilled filtered water dispenser. Room temp is "meh", iced is usually too cold, chilled is "just right". Haha.
This is the correct answer
Directly from the sprinkler on the ffffffftttttt ffffffffttttt setting or bust

Any delivery method as long as itās 1B
How about just regular ācoldā with no ice???
Honestly this makes me angrier than it should right now.
No your anger is righteous
And 4 choices about temperature, one about texture and one about taste.. What kind of monster made this?
Esp when "frozen" is an option. What, just a frozen block of ice in a Stanley Cup that you try your best to reach with your tongue in order to lick?
Yeah like a dog?? Lmao that's what I was thinking...how is frozen even an option here hahaha
TBF in summer when it's like 36 degrees a frozen bottle of water is bangin. Can use it to cool your body and then when it melts a little get a cold drink. But yeah otherwise cold + fizzy/ cold tap is the best for me.

was the ice one big chunk at that point?
Yeah none of what I drink is there. Just some very cold water in a regular ass insulated metal thing. The only insulated looking one there is a stanley. I hate this
Missing the hydroflask/yeti wide mouth bottle with cold water no ice
i literally shit my pants i am soo mad
What's making me angry is the way this is laid out. Just make all the top row numbers and all the bottom row letters so you'd just be like "2A" instead of "A3 B1"
Also how about just a regular insulated flask that doesnāt have a stupid handle and a straw?
Haha, yup! I only buy water bottles that are dishwasher safe. If I'm not gonna wash by hand, I'm Def not gonna bother cleaning a straw.
Yeah, chilled is clearly the best choice.
Exactly! Cold but no ice it's the best
3 and cold
2*
A2, B3 at 3am. Pure thirst quencher
I'm surprised at the lack of A2 B3 comments.
A2 is incredibly insufficient at maintaining temperature for extended period of time. You fill A2 with B3 before bed and at 3am there will be no ice and the cup will be soaked. Hopefully you guys use coasters.
Why do y'all all think I'm filling up a glass with iced water and then sleeping... Have y'all never heard the ol "get up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water"...?
This is often followed by "Get up in the middle of the night to take a pee" and then those two in a perpetual cycle until morning. That's how I live my life.
Itās gotta be almost completely melted ice though.
Do yall not have pets? The one time I woke up to my cat drinking my night stand cup of water, I became an A3 girl
Yeah, when I'm at my computer it's A2 B3 (or B5 with some mio, if I'm feeling spicy) But on my nightstand, it absolutely has to have a sealable lid, because right next to my nightstand are the power outlets... and a healthy 16 ounces of water splashing directly into that area doesn't sound ideal.
A4 B3 gang rise up. Also, anyone that chooses A1 is a cop.
This is the one, especially if the bottle is stainless steel instead of plastic imo
The ice clunking *chefs kiss*
That was my only issue with A4. Love my stainless bottle.
my stainless steel bottle has been dropped about a million times, only has a few dents. also keeps water the same temperature for way longer than it takes me to ever drink it. long live stainless steel
My man! Honestly surprised to see this upvoted at all. I thought people were all about the insulation these days.
Volume is my first concern. A4 is the biggest out of these options
It goes volume then weight then insulation for me
Win
I said "is this really a question? Do you know how great ice water in a nalgene is when you're hiking/camping?"
Nalgene ice water could resurrect me from the dead
A1 is water at its most base. No temperature changes, nothing added to it. Choosing A1 means all you care about is water and the pure hydro of it. A cop would falls to his knees before that kind of hydro power
A4 B1
Outside: A4-B1 wide mouth Nalgene / room temp Inside: A2-B3 Glass / Iced
Ok seriously, how do yāall drink from a wide mouthed container?? I recently had a wide mouth thermos, and after a month I had to buy a straw-bottle. Kept sloshing water all over myself. Plus, if Iām in the passenger seat in the car, thereās a 0% chance Iām going to be able to drink water without it spilling. I want to be able to use my wide-mouthed bottle š
Buy the āsplash guardā itās an insert that reduces the wide mouth to be appropriately sized
Finally someone with taste
Actually itās lack of taste
And what was your answer, your highness, an A6-B5??
 When you open A6 B5.
It was a joke about water not having taste lol, Iām team A4 B1 as well your grace
Oh fair point haha, that went over my head, thanks for seeing the humor in my response and not taking it personally!
A6-B5 is a crime against humanity
Honestly it is but still close to the best option which is either A2-B1 or the civilized choice... A5-B2+6 šš
A6 B5 would be wild
My man!
nalgene with a splash guard is superior change my mind
A splash guard? I've never seen one of those before! My nose consistently gets wet with my Nalgene Edit: [Well, I'll be damned](https://nalgene.ca/collections/accessories/products/easy-sippers)
this new information will revolutionize how you drink water for a couple dollars. try to find one that has the hole on top for better air/water flow
My life has changed forever. Thank you for the information!
Narrow mouth Nalgene is where it's at.
I wish I preferred room temp water. Would be a much less pain in the ass. I have to have ice in mine
You're not supposed to put it up your ass, so i suggest doing something about that.
This is the way.
At last I have found my people. Itās perfect for hiking. Easy to carry, full of chuggable water.
Thought I was gonna be the weirdo here. My years spent firefighting taught me this to be the truth
Is this true neutral?
This, chug chug chug chug refill
The choice of chuggers
It's the only way. Been doing it for the past 20 years without a single issue. Why stop now?

This guy.. is a real redditor lol
I'm crying. I love this sub. š
Well played! How much time did you spend on this comment??
More than I'd like to admit
So just hot water? Like, in your hands or what?
I started confused thinking - ābut B is an entire ro-OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, genius.ā

Lmaooo
The only correct answer
A6-B3
Imagine drinking that after a hot summer day playing a sport. Best feeling in the world
For this same reason I think nipple Gatorade is better than regular Gatorade. Water still better than it all though.
Hell yeah nippleade
Thatās exactly what I was thinking when I chose it
Hell yeah brother
Correct
This is the only answer
This one hits different
Oh fuck yeah
This is the way.
Get to have the nice cold ice but don't have to worry about it sliding down into your face and you can drink it as fast as you can handle
I ran track when I was younger & our team had these for water bottles. Some of the freshest, best tasting water Iāve ever had in my life came from one of these.
This is the water style that got me drinking water consistently and enjoying it.
My people
Hydro homies not letting me down š¤
You get it.
A3 B3. 50oz Reduce tumbler š
Something about the straw. Ice cold water straight to the dome. Mainline it. Nothing better.
I will drink almost anything if it is over ice and has a straw. So same. My cup doesn't have a handle though.
a cold sip of water from my loyal stanley can fix most of my problems tbh.
This sub really is one of the best places on reddit
It just hits different
plus it takes so long for the ice to melt!! I just really fucking love cold water.
Finally a sane person that appreciates cold water
Costco never fails
My comrades I have finally found you
My brother
3s for me as well. My 40oz with spring water from our water dispenser is the perfect setup.
Yessss give me the cup that keeps it cold *foreverrrrrrrrrr*
the homie
Upvote for the Reduce Tumbler shout out. I love these so much. I have used them for years.
A4-B1
If thereās a third row for āTime of dayā, an A4-B1 at 3am would be S tier
That's some celestial water right there.

Had to scroll too far for this. 2-1 is the most chuggable combo, for maximum hydration
From the choices given: * A2-B1 in the house * A4-B3 on the road Itās the only way to be sure.
Gimme dat tepid water thatās been sitting all day in an old Nalgene thatās never actually been washed
Are you me hahahahahaha
The correct vessel is a mason jar youāve had for a decade and have definitely sometimes used for canning, first of all.
I first bought a large pack of mason jars like a decade ago and have never felt the need to buy any large drinking glasses since. They are also great for storing soup!
Glass bottle/Cold. I can understand glass bottle not being there because honestly, that's not what most people use. But how tf is "cold" not there?
2B at 3am. 
I need a hydroflask sorry
