The negatives are mostly down to the safety, health and environment considerations that come with the use of bottles:

* Nearly half of the brands that claim to be selling pristine, purified, natural, healthy water sell nothing more than tap water, sometimes treated additionally, at a substantially higher cost per gallon.
* While municipal tap water is regularly tested by Environmental Protection Agency and cover high standards, bottled water is not as these institutes have no authority over private water businesses.
* Around 90 % of the used water bottles are thrown into regular trash bins at the expense of greater costs for the environment.
* The material (oil derived Polyethylene Therephthalate, a.k.a. PET), used to make a water bottle, takes up nearly 3 times more water to make than will ever go into a bottle!
* PET production and the truck delivery of bottled water end up in air emissions that poison the air as well as adding to the overall cost because of the fuel used.

As you can see it really is a matter of convenience and time management, versus environmental care and awareness. With the increasing popularity of glass-made water bottles some of the issues are being resolved. Although heavier than plastic ones, they are 100 % safe and cost much less to produce. In the end, whether or not to use a 5 gallon water dispenser system is a personal choice to each one of us and something that would continue to create debates in the future.

“My young son asked me what happens after we die. I told him we get buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I should have told him the truth - that most of us go to Hell and burn eternally - but I didn't want to upset him.”
