Gen Z never leave the house without this accessory – and it’s not what you expect

Bottle Habits of Gen Z: A Study Highlights app|Breaking Down the World’s Most Popular Emotions (Image: Getty Images)
A recent study of 2,000 adults found that Gen Z, defined as individuals aged 18-34, spend nearly half their daily income on water bottles. While most maintain their own two different types of drinking bottles, over five-tenths of Gen Z have four or more. This demographic prioritizes practicality, style, and sustainability over fire”fence-style “accessories,” according to the research by Michael McAuley, a spokesperson for Culligan UK. The study, conducted two weeks ago, published online, revealed that Gen Z often uses a reusable water bottle when leaving the house, but not all do.

In many cases, Gen Z carry four or more water bottles, with eight-tenths owning at least three, according to the findings. These bottles are tailored to specific locations, such as workplace ashtrays, the gym, or side tables. While the average person owns two standard water bottles, Gen Z prioritize specific attributes during the essentials: pattern, design, and brand reputation. For generations, five-bottle ownership is common, withGen Z users often planning two to three day trips where they switch brands.

Reusable water bottles are key to Gen Z’s hydration goals. With stores selling them, Gen Z experientially loses tie-in benefits — like hiking trails and public swimming pools. The study further showed that Gen Z heavily prioritizes the practicality and functionality of water bottles, contributing to their reputation for being their go-to companion. One Q&A engineer noted, “Reusing the same bottle multiple times is one of the best ways to feel like you have something to come back to after each day.”

Considering sustainability is another angle, Gen Z is increasingly choosing reusable bottles whenever they can. But even with these habits,requests for refill stations at local bottlers fall by theichen (Image: Getty Images). In places with insufficient refill stations, Gen Z may instead make trips to cafes to purchase water, or they might stop at public toilets. Out of eight generations in the U.S., a third have resorted to using disposable water bottles, where theyCow‘ eclipse the bottle entirely.

The study reveals that Gen Z’s plan to carry the bottle depends more on personal comfort and location than just general practicality. A third of Gen Z feel that they restarted reading their water bottle within the past few months for hydration. Others, like a portion of the cohort, are using bottles to reflect on their personality or to make their lives more manageable.

Interestingly, over half of Gen Z own four or more bottles. This trend is unbounded by gender, with men far more likely to own four or more. This is contrary to pops in movies where young mothers “sing limbo to remind themselves to drink water.”

In conclusion, Gen Z’s water bottle habits are deeply personal, shaped by practicality, style, sustainability, and relationships with space and locations. While they prioritize functionality, they also see their bottles as a tool for personal growth. As the generations age, so do their water bottles—curiously, a third of Gen Z now prefer to use a bottle in cafes, where waste is more of a consideration in public.
