What Do You Drink When You Travel?

If you often travel by air, you want to keep hydrated to lessen the effects of jet lag.  One of the best known ways to keep hydrated is to drink plenty of water before and during your flights.

In the past, airplane water was notorious for containing dangerous levels of bacteria such as coliform, which indicates the presence of E. coli.  Fortunately, in response to the EPA’s initiatives to reduce or eliminate coliform on planes, most airlines now serve only bottled water by the glass.  One or two small glasses are not nearly enough water to consume on a typical four-hour flight.  Alternatively, many travelers will buy bottled water in the airport to carry onto the plane.  But both of these actions require enormous use of natural resources to produce and distribute the plastic bottles, and adds to the ever-increasing problem of plastic in the environment.

A cost effective, environment-friendly option is to carry your own water bottle that filters the water as you drink it.  Multipure has introduced the wriggle™ Portable Filtered Water Bottle to address this issue.  A traveler can carry the empty bottle through security checkpoints, then fill it from any water fountain or water faucet.  The wriggle™ treats many contaminants, just like Multipure’s industry leading water filtration systems, available in a portable 30-fl oz. design.  Water2Drink.com offers the wriggle™ in either blue or gray, or in a two-pack (one of each color).
