PEOPLE IN IRELAND drank almost an extra litre of water a day during the course of the pandemic, according to results of a new survey. 1,000 adults were surveyed in the research carried out by survey company iReach on behalf of bottled water company Ishka. It also found that the average weekly spend on bottled water is €4.60. Just over a third of people increased water intake during lockdown, and of these, 71% drank at least an extra one litre, with 23% pouring themselves an extra 1-2 litres. It meant the average extra water intake was just off one litre during the pandemic.
