I refuse to buy mineral water because of this. Only in emergency mode.

I always carry my reusable bottle (Tupperware) wherever I go.

Same. The most recent time I bought a plastic bottle was on a recent holiday for a week-long car trip away from home in a country where tap water was not drinkable. I was happy to see they had big 10-liter bottles in the shop so I could refill my reusable water bottle during the whole trip.
