Yeah, youre right, I suck cocks. I heard that caffeinated drinks actually dehydrated you since it made you urinate more, some googling and turns out this is not true and cola or whatever is just as good as water at hydrating you. So yeah, my bad. | ||

Well I don't know about the US but asking for plain water ( or tap water) in Europe at a restaurant is considered pretty rude. Since the restaurant can't really charge you anymoney for that. That's why they give your sparkling water for which they can ask money. | ||

In the US it's usually understood that if you order water in a restaurant you aren't going to be charged for it. Usually you just get regular ice water, usually with a slice of lemon. If you order water in a higher end bar/cocktail lounge, often times you will get bottled water that they will charge you for however. | ||

Some might give you a weird look if you ask for tap water specifically cause they might interpret it as you trying to circumvent the price for the normal bottled still water the usually give out. But when asking for still water in general, it's usually not an issue at all. Yeah I problaby described it wrong, it's not like you'll really get weird looks. But my parents always told me I shouldn't ask for water in restaurants ( this was especially in pubs in england), because it means you're cheap. | ||

But when asking for still water in general, it's usually not an issue at all. It's the exact opposite in the US. If you want carbonated water, you specifically have to order a seltzer/club soda/or sparkling water. Though I don't know that there are many people here who still drink it. | ||
