Consuming water to stay hydrated.
خلفية ثقافية
Tap water (postevand) is considered superior to bottled water. It is common to see people filling bottles in bathroom sinks. Water is often sourced from melted icebergs or pristine lakes, making 'at drikke vand' a very pure experience. In contrast to Denmark, ice is almost always added to water. A Dane might find 'vand med is' too cold. In countries like Italy or Spain, bottled water is more common at restaurants than in Denmark.
Ask for 'Postevand'
In restaurants, specifically ask for 'postevand' if you want free or cheap tap water instead of expensive bottled water.
The 'En Vand' Trap
