I never could understand the modern urge to sup all day from plastic bottles as if one were not yet weaned. ?
It's coz the air con in these modern libraries dries the air and makes the throat dry. Also as the air con system efficiently circulates the germs around for everybody to catch, a well lubricated throat is a health benefit. Some students study for hours, and to have a drink handy means that they don't have to leave their study position. When it is exam time some students study all night in preparation for the worrying event, when the cafes are closed, so a handy drink is appreciated. The U.E.A's library does have water stations, but just not with a metal cup on a short chain, or water fountains. (Whatever happened to water drinking fountains?).
