H2Oh No!
And speaking of the Cult of the Nalgene Bottle (of which, I must admit, I am an agua-swilling member), Stanley Goldfarb, in The Daily Standard, writes:
The supposed health benefit of consuming large volumes of water has become one of those urban myths that even some physicians have come to endorse without real insight into the science underlying water intake and its effects on the body.
Goldfarb (who’s an MD, by the way) says the human body’s exceptionally good at regulating hydration; any extra liquids we take on are unceremoniously excreted without having much of an impact on our overall health.

I say this: Who cares, when their product design is so great? They’re like the Macs of water bottles.
Macs of water bottles! That’s good. In that they convey pretension, and are usually outrageously overpriced, absolutely. But you would be a lot more on-target if they only accepted certain relatively hard-to-find and expensive types of water. And if nalgene fans masturbated to rumors of new products.
