Bottled Water ... does this really de-hydrate you ?

Bottled Water ...Dehydration

I just came across a post which says the the american traveller, while traveling bought aquafina or Dasani, and did face sour throat, dehydration etc. Earlier he was having his own tap water from his house. He didn't face it then. You can read the story here. Further he has blamed it on the Brand Owners : Pepsi & Coke & has vented out his frustration mostly; this is my opinion.

Question : Does it really dehydrate ?

Frankly, I have never tried to judge this. Because I have never suffered cm from such a phenomena. While checking internet, still, haven't come across any solid incident where people have suffered from this. However, it might be happening gradually over a period of time. A reason is that we remove what nature has formulated, suits to the environment , the local environment. However, this will be the case with tap water either. The answer : it's still not that important.

But Look here...

The traveler says that during his 8 hours drive, he didn't have an option to buy anything, but bottled water. Here : Exactly here is an opportunity + a new Idea as well. What's that ? 

                Water ATM / Water Station

A Water ATM is the right solution which will ensure good water for travelers.
