When it was discovered that there is huge money in charging people for bottled water.I seldom drank water as a kid yet played in sweltering Piedmont NC summer weather, hooping in the hot sun as well as baling hay in August wearing long sleeves to shield the scratch up.
I still tend to eschew water in the main.
But my students and daughter and her friends (late teens) can't go anywhere without a 'water bottle.'
What happened and how did I miss it, whatever it was?
Played football, lacrosse and basketball in HS. During football practice we we were restricted as to how much water we could drink. I never did but many of my classmates took salt tablets to limit how much they sweated. 1970sWas coming to post this exactly...though I would quibble a bit and say it happened in the mid to late 90s. The beverage companies noticed there was an emerging customer segment in bottled water and started pouring millions into advertising and PR (that's when all the health advocates started talking about 8 glasses a day).
I will say that growing up, water fountains were the go-to source after running around on the field or the court. Then get home and chug down some OJ or milk.
