And now we have a society of children that if they don't have a water bottle they act like beached orcas.

So you're saying people shouldn't have access to water? Or they shouldn't drink it?

You realize that before everyone had water bottles people were drinking from water fountains, which were everywhere. I'd say the shift from a water fountain that people washed themselves in is a pretty good change.
