Water is an essential element for the survival of all living creatures on earth. No life is possible without water. Drinking water is quite essential, similarly, proper drinking manners are significant in maintaining health. In the present study, we recommend a specific shape of drinking water utensil as an essential and influencing factor for human health. The shape of the drinking water utensil should be a curved surface, rather than a plain cylindrical water bottle, we recommend the old Indian Lotay for the best drinking water utensil. To support our hypothesis we conducted a questionnaire-based double-blind study based on STORB guidelines. The study was conducted on 400 people from different circumstantial and age groups, based on 16 questions. We found that the people drinking directly with the modern day plastic water bottles are more prone to the digestive issues such as indigestion, acidity, and gastritis. Hence we strongly oppose the existing water bottle shape (cylindrical with a narrow neck) for drinking, because it physiologically harms the human health.
