At the very least, buy large jugs of purified water and use a permanent refillable bottle. It still creates plastic waste, but it’s a lot less than pounding down small bottles all the time. It’s also much cheaper, and if the bottle is vacuum-insulated, more efficient and enjoyable.
Small plastic bottles have their uses in some situations, but buying them all the time as your main source of drinking water is just silly.

At my last office job, years ago when I was young and lived with my parents and had very few financial obligations, I would always ask to clock out and leave whenever I ran out of work to do for the day. It was always busy mornings and slow afternoons. My boss thought I was insane for not wanting to get paid to sit there and fuck around on Facebook (her exact words.) But to me it was worth losing $30-60 to gain back 3-6 hours of my personal life every week.
The boss and most co-workers were great, and the work wasn’t even bad when it was busy, but just physically being present there was soul-crushing.
