      But that’s not even true? Most businesses in the United States will just give you a free drink of tap water if asked.

          Lots of parks have those free water fountains with the bottle-filling function tho. Schools, hospitals, government buildings, and even Walmarts have them too.

          This is a law everywhere. Free drinking water is one of the few decent things in the us.

          Some places may be hard ass about it, but just go to a fast food place and ask for a water cup. It’ll likely be smaller than a soda cup, but just fill it up again

            it’s the law but you have to be prepared to throw the book at slimy business owners to actually excercise it, especially when alchohol is involved

          most food places maybe. i wouldn’t expect a hardware store to give me a cup of water, but any chain department store type place has a water fountain somewhere
