    The only time I ever bought Liquid Death was at a concert. I paid $15 for a can. I don’t see any humor here. Literally the only option aside from walking all the way to damn near the parking lot for a water fountain.

    Probably the only time I felt more ripped off over water was when I willingly spent nearly that much for Gillywater at Universal Studios. Its just regular bottled water. Nothing special at all. At least those round coke bottles at Hollywood Studios were sorta novel.

      Don’t liquor licences in your country require serving water?

      In (all?) of Australia to have a liquor licence requires you also serve free water. That can be tap water, but it has to be available as easily as the alcohol. Typically from a bartender, waiter etc depending on the establishment providing it for you.

        Country?

        This is America.

        Liquor licenses are handled by the state or municipality.

        At this particular venue (Xfinity Center)…no, I don’t think so. Most of the vendors that are around are in carts with just beer, water, hard seltzer…maybe a canned cocktail or wine cooler.

        Maybe at the counter-service vendors, where you could get mixed drinks. Possibly.

        They do have water bottle stations though. And you can bring in one empty reusable bottle or one factory-sealed water bottle upto 1 gallon.

        Who tf thinks to bring water to a concert tho. You pregame in the parking lot and after your second or third $30 beer…then you realize you really need a water.
