Tap water is safe and high quality. Ordering 'vandens iš čiaupo' in a restaurant is becoming more common and is often free. Mineral water brands like 'Vytautas' are famous for their high salt content and 'unique' taste. Lithuanians often drink it for health. During the summer solstice (Joninės), water is believed to have special powers. People wash their faces in the morning dew. It is common to offer guests water as soon as they enter a home, especially if they have traveled far.
The 'Some' Rule
If you are asking for water, always use 'vandens'. If you are talking about the act of drinking water in general, use 'vandenį'.
Negation Trap
Never say 'negeriu vandenį'. The negative 'ne' always forces the genitive 'vandens'.
