Default Drinking from hotel room sink - okay?

Buying bottled water is expensive and inconvenient when you have all those plastic cups and an easily accessible sink so close.

What do you guys do? Sanitary, or don't risk it?

A) Take the huge Dasani waters from the airplane on the RON flight.

B) Drink from the sink when you wake up at 230 and you're thirsty

C) Drink the sweet brown water from Greenville MS

(Keep in mind theres actually regulations on tap water...not so much with bottled water)

Sink water is fine. Just don't use the glasses that are actually glass. There are no guarantees on how clean they are. The plastic cups that you have to open are plenty clean.

But...that said, I always take water from the plane. I just think it tasts better.

Fill a water bottle from the water cooler in the workout room of the hotel.
