Seems to happen about every month or so on Twitter. A post by an American visiting Europe about not being able to find water and feeling dehydrated goes viral. The quotes/replies are always a mix of Europeans going 'huh?' and Americans reporting the same experience.
So, is this an actually common phenomena, or just a bit of an online meme? If you've been to Europe, did you find yourself struggling to get water and/or feeling dehydrated?
And if it does seem to be a thing, I'd be interested in any suggestions for why Americans may have this experience of Europe, as a Brit who has never felt it an issue myself.
I’ve never had a problem finding water fountains. Parks, airports, indoor spaces like museums and stadiums
I never said they don’t buy them, and even I do occasionally, but it’s always a last resort kind of thing. Don’t want to pay for it, don’t want to waste the plastic
I feel like a failure to my wallet and the earth every time I buy bottled water

We don’t want to buy water. We want to have public drinking fountains or water bottle refill stations to get water when we’re out and about and not in our hotel room
