Every restaurant I've been too this summer, I've ordered water (without lemon I might add). If it comes with lemon, that's fine, but it's not required.
And everytime, it's come in a glass the size of a freaking dixie cup. What. The. F**k.
In case you haven't noticed, it's been freaking hot out.
I've ended up in the hospital before for dehydration. It's not a fun experience and I would not recommend it. Ever since then I've consumed water (especially in the summer time) like it's going out of style.
I'm not cheap. I'm likely to order the most expensive meal on the menu so why the hell must I constantly look hopelessly for my waiter/ress when I down my water in one gulp while my signifigant other consumes his gigantic glass of pop?
Is there some sort of water shortage I don't know about!?
/rant
*edit* I did want to specify that a lot of my confusion comes from the fact that if I order a water in the winter time, I get a large glass. Summer time, little glass. I just don't get it.
And I realize that some states do have water shortages (I'm in MI). Not too mention other countries.
I guess I best specify that I'd like a large glass.
