Since I was in F on DL, I didn't need it on board; they kept me stocked with dasani bottles. However, at each termination I filled it at the drinking fountain to have in the car while driving.
I'll bring one on AZ next week, since I'll be in Y and drinks are mostly self service. (they keep a cart in the galley, you go back and get your own).
