    I drink bottled water on rare occasions when I'm out and don't want to drink some sugary beverage or coffee. At home I drink tap water.

    Bottled water is often a scam. In many places plain unfiltered tap is better.

    So where does the water go used to make the bottles? Back into the environment somehow. Is it really consumed? I'm not a plastic bottle expert, just asking. Seems like the "study" might need to consider that. I mean, the only way water really disappears is if it's broken down into hydrogen and oxygen molecules.

    I guess this is the type of "democracy" Democrats want. A group of voters votes to "reallocate" resources from Target to their own homes. Seems legit.

    I mean, it's a lot more efficient than paying three different bloated bureaucracies' worth of deadbeat employees to take my money via taxes and reallocated it to the poor Target "shoppers", taking their DC cut of course. The mobs might be onto something. Make this legal and we can cut out the bloated middle men in DC.

    What does that have to do with bottled water?
