> using a phone, a water bottle, or both as a pacifier
I slowly put my phone down in shame after reading this. But I really love this sentence because of how true it is. Why is it always a phone and a water bottle?

If you want to even get close, it’s either a few chug-sessions per day, or else carrying water to sip constantly. … also, it probably helps replace cigarettes as an oral fixation, which is what everyone used to use.

It may be a personal bias due to medication use but I think it is 'need vs want' at that point. You may not suffer dehydration with dry mouth but it is uncomfortable.
- vundercind 2y agoI know that, but it’s by far the most common reason I hear for folks who carry water bottles everywhere, including office workers: they’re trying to get close to some very-high daily water intake recommendation.
