This is a nice gift I got out of the blue. It is a Starbucks water bottle. I like it but I can't help but wonder why a coffee chain is selling such items. Is it possible that they are feeling health conscious and trying to encourage more water consumption? Is it a way to offset the dehydration that coffee causes?

I understand that for every cup of coffee I drink, I need to drink two cups of water to replenish my body. In that case, I would need to drink this entire bottle full of water after a tasty 16 ounces of coffee. Of course, 48 ounces of liquid sounds like a formula for disaster or at least many trips to the bathroom.
