Is there any reason to carry around five per cent of one’s body weight in liquid? No.
My husband likes to go on late night online shopping binges. He does this because he is a man of inexhaustible energy, and in the quiet hours when the children and I are asleep, he imagines that the world will always be this way and that he will have time to work his job and parent but also master home haircuts, learn a new exercise regime and teach our son phonics.
Last year, before it became clear that we would never be able to safely leave the house with our children, he became entranced with the idea of family bush walks. Thus, a few days later, there was a knock at the door and four industrial-sized drink bottles arrived at our home. One of them was gifted to me. It presently sits atop my desk because when it is full it is too heavy for me to move.

They were small, they were practical, and very little attention was paid to their aesthetics beyond the whacking of a logo on the side of the more deluxe brands.Then in 2020 the Stanley Cup began its ascent and society was hoodwinked into thinking that it was not only normal, but desirable to carry around 1.1 litres of water at a time. It is now possible to buy a 3.
Part of me wonders whether it is about conveying the impression of health to others – although, personally, I am not sure I would be convinced. While carrying a huge bottle of water might send a slightly more positive message than carrying around a can of beer or a Slurpee, it can only get a person so far., which is a word that seems to refer to things that might be health adjacent or might just be expensive.
