The next time you head off to your favorite diner, drive-in or dive, only ask for a glass of water if you’ll actually drink it. If you usually order something other than H20, pass when your waiter asks if you’d like water, too. Or, if it’s towards the end of your meal and your waitress is hovering nearby with a pitcher at the ready when you take a few sips, politely decline her offer. We’re not sure how much water is wasted at restaurants the world over, but hopefully you’ll be a bit more aware when you dine out.
