"Helen Coffey's recent piece on the rise of reusable water bottles has tapped into a surprisingly heated debate, getting Independent readers talking about everything from convenience and consumerism to social media's role in shaping daily habits.

Influencer marketing and social media are identified by some as amplifying a competitive wellness performance around basic hydration.
