My friends used to make fun of me for spending $1.00 on a bottle of water (yeah its more now) - but they didn't have any trouble blowing the same amount on a bottle of coke.  Or $5.00 on a cup of coffee.  Or $10.00 on cigarettes.   Or countless dollars on gambling, drugs, and fast food.  For all of the rotten things people do or put into their bodies - causing heart disease and cancer - its ridiculous to me for someone to complain about bottled water.  Bottled water is one of the few luxuries I indulge in.  Leave bottled water alone!
