I wasn't sure how well I was informed about the bottle thing, since I heard it second or third hand, a couple of years ago. ^^;;; I'm too abusive to those cheap bottles for them to last very long, and I'm always forgetting them places, so it wasn't something I was too worried about. I know plastic takes a loooong time to biodegrade, I was just too tired to put two and two together this morning (four hours of sleep three nights in a row does that to a person). heh.
I'm really bad about getting really busy and not drinking hardly anything, thus getting very dehydrated. But lately, since I just got over the crud that's going around, I've been trying to take a water bottle with me everywhere.
