How big is the cup or jug you carry around all day?

Locust ForkLocust Fork Member Posts: 32,000 ✭✭✭✭

I keep ice water with me everywhere I go. It started off with a big plastic mug thing that had a lid, but I couldn't really take it out of the house. So I got a Yeti, metal tumbler thing with a lid....then a bigger metal tumbler. Last month I picked up a GIANT rubber coated metal mug. This thing just barely fits in my car's cup holder and looks ridiculous.

I have noticed a few people walking around with massive jug things that are pretty much long canteens of sorts. I think the big mug thing is the pinacle of my beverage transportation.....lets hope so anyway.

On the road I have my water and my coffee. If Larry is with me we both have water and coffee....so we have our coffee in the front with us until we are ready to switch, and we will have the big water mug things waiting in the back seat cup holders.

I imagine going back in time, to a period of time when I was raising heck every chance I got and telling myself.....you are going to marry your highschool sweetheart and you two are going to have giant matching mugs that you carry icewater around in....and you will be excited about it.

    There is a gallon jug of water by my desk. Sometimes I will grab a bottle of water from the fridge on my way out. This morning I bought a bottle from Hardes. $3.00 for a bottle of water.

    It's not with me like an appendage, but I do use the pint jug I had in the hospital a while back. Double-walled so it keeps drinks cold for a good amount of time, and it has a nice big handle. Strictly a countertop item, though; too fat for any cup holder. Water or iced tea.

    I keep a couple bottles of water in the car, in the front door pockets, in case I need a sip while driving. I have a Walmart Yeti clone in quart size for the boat. Another Walmart stainless steel coffee cup for the morning. That's it.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I dont mind people having a water source nearby, but I do despise the people that slurp their drink in church. I think they could go an hour or so without that crutch.

    I cannot imagine carrying anything food or beverage related into church....that is just beyond rude.

    It might be the English blood in me but I like my water at room temperature. I don't usually leave the house for more than a few hours at a time anymore, so don't carry any H20 for myself but there is always a thick poly gallon and a half jug that I keep fresh water in the car for my K-9 companions. Where I go THEY GO!


    When it comes to BEER, the English in me ceases to exist however! ICE COLD is the way I like it!

    For a while, 7-11 sold "Monster Mugs" which were 64-ounce (yes, a half gallon!) that people could refill for a set price. I know several people who'd down two or even three of them filled with regular Coca-Cola every day. I can't imagine doing that to my body.

    Why would I be carrying a cup or jug everywhere?

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    That's a rather personal question. So just how big is . . Oh-Forget it😉

    Wife bought my daughter a double wall steel cirkul, she didn't use it at all. So i took it, and bought a hydro flask sippy cup lid that fits it. Fits in my cup holder and holds ice all day. Goes every where I go. I normally have a case of water close by so it comes in handy.
