possibly hot take
so, instead of carrying around 1 giant (reusable) bottle of water, which is heavy and looks intimidating
why not just refill a smaller (reusable) bottle more often?
the smaller size is less intimidating, not as heavy
I can't speak for everyone everywhere in every situation
but consider, if you work at home or in an office it's probably better for you to get up more often to refill the smaller bottle than it is sitting for a longer period of time with a huge jug 
possibly hot take
@dragonmagic I have one big 1L bottle and a small 26cl one, I used to only have the small one and I'd just finish it in one big gulp and then be thirsty because I was busy doing other stuff, I'd only refill it if I was already getting up (and I remembered to take it with me) the 1L one lasts me a day or two now and I'm actually able to use it and take it with me when I go out
re: possibly hot take
@dragon that's valid, I understand there are plenty of scenarios where it's more practical to have 1 big water bottle vs a smaller one
but I, uh, can't "chug" drinks without gagging (tl;dr I'm told it's a throat thing) and as I mentioned before looking at a huge bottle is fairly intimidating for me, like a to-do list that goes to the floor
I see a smaller glass (like 10oz/29cl) and think "I can handle that"
but to each their own 😅
re: possibly hot take
@dragonmagic oh yeah that totally makes sense and if it can get you to move too thats a really good bonus!! I'm glad that works for u :)
