Tap! I always keep a fresh jug of tapwater in the fridge and use it to refill my water bottle, this way I always have nice cold water. Sparkling is ok too, but for me, that's reserved for a special luxury treat at a restaurant.
How is the restaurant culture around getting tap water? I know the stereotype of at least Germany is that they want you to purchase bottled water, just wondering if this is the same in other places or if there are other seemly interesting cultures around our favorite beverage.
In my experience in New Zealand & Australia if you are in a place that is licensed to serve alcohol they have a legal obligation to provide free water, so restaurants will often just bring you a jug or glass bottle of chilled tapwater by default when you are first seated and are happy to provide more if asked! Where I live now it is similar though I don't think it is required by law, they just do it anyway because it is hot af lol
I too live in a warm climate, but I didn't always live here, and tbh it's a relief to be somewhere hydration is normalised and everyone local is carrying a water bottle. Before, people would always tell me "just buy a coke if you get thirsty" - uh, excuse me?! Why would I buy a coke, when there is beautiful refreshing water to be had, smh
A coke?! Haha people think that our water bottles are some type of emotional support blanket, when in reality its just a habit and we are just trying to keep up our hydration. Cant be caught slipping.
Before I started drinking water regularly, I never even thought about it. But since I started carrying a watter bottle for singing in college, now I feel super dehydrated if I don't have it with me
