Since it gets lighter as you drink it, I don't think so. Even if you could only walk 1 meter while carrying N liters, you could drink it until you have M, and then walk as far as you could with M. But now you're 1 meter further.

- waste_monk 5y agoAs water weighs about one kilogram per litre, you would be carrying close to two tonnes (+ container weight!) - if you can carry this for 100 meters, I would be quite impressed.
