   My wife and I recently went to the ACC baseball tournament. Since we aren’t beer drinkers, the choice was between bottled water and Pepsi products, most of which leave an unpleasant aftertaste. In that situation where we are held captive, bottled water is the choice. However, we never have it at home and probably average less than a bottle a month away from home.

   In that circumstance, I would not take exception to your choice, not at all. Really, you had no choice.

   Many years ago, vacationing in Arizona, we consumed great quantities of bottled water, as we were away from home in a rental car and “hydrate or die” is a very real thing in those parts.

   Somehow, though, I don’t think the lady ahead of me at my local grocery store who bought a case of that stuff two days ago was facing that sort of situation. Rather, she’s fallen victim to the con that somebody else’s tap water, put into bottles and transported many miles at great expense, is somehow better than her own tap water . . . .
