USA lounges almost expect people to remove water, etc. They also provide "to go" cups for coffee and tea. In fact, in some hotels, it would be impossible for everyone to get breakfast if it had to be consumed sitting in the lounge as lounges aren't large enough for the numbers of guests with lounge access.
