I was on a quest to search for the perfect water bottle to accompany me on my hikesthrough Azeroth and ice climbing in Northrend. There were only 2 bottles which met my stringent requirements CamelBak's 25 oz waterbottle ($14) with its bite valve fits the bill and its cheaper cousin the rubbermaid 20 oz squirt top ($5). The common water bottle isn't worth mentioning as it is the major cause of desktop accidents with its 360 degress water splash arc should you miss grabbing the bottle as its falling. Reusing disposable water bottles is how you get sick as its hard to clean and most are too lazy to properly disinfect it.
Alternative uses for your water bottle include:
portable sink for the late nite or early morning face wash pre or post meal hand washing, desk cleaning, computer equitpment cleaning and you can even use it to clean your eyeglasses. All this is to keep you looking normal and presentable less you scare your family into forcing you into rehab for suspected drug addiction. Oh and it keeps you hydrated at 25 oz you can refill it between raid breaks or bio breaks.
While all this sounds weird to the non initiate but fellow WOWers understand that bio break means exactly that where you need to either pee or poop and it doesn't include you wanting to go wash your hands after snacking. I personally use my water bottle as a portable sink so it fills my water needs from drinking to washing up stuff including myself if needed. Not to say that i dont shower but sometimes a splash of cold water is a nice feeling on a hot day.
WOW friendly bottles are for us people who can only use one hand half mindedly to grab for water while our main attention is directed to our monitor and our dominant hand targeting mobs and hitting our attack key bindings. In a way we have the coordination of a 2 year old because our nondominant hand is force to blindly find that water bottle, open it, and direct it towards us without spillage when its only allowed a tiny portion of our attention span
Requirements for a WOW friendly water bottle:
single handly drinkable
spillproof
drop proof
shatter proof
stable balance on table top
easy to clean
easy to refill
no caps those things get lost and requires 2 hands
