Weirdly enough even with the fridge tap my fiance was still hitting the energy drinks pretty hard but when I switched to bottling it like this he suddenly became a total #hydrohomie so I’m not fixing what ain’t broke!
He more emphasized the grab-n-go aspect; we’re both pretty adhd and at a certain point you just kinda have to accept that willpower is fake and you’ll have a much easier time making better “choices” if you put all the good ones on the path of least resistance. If you want some formal teaching on the subject Dialectal Behavior Therapy teaches a skill called “Behavior Chain Analysis” where you go through how each little environmental factor impacted each little internal reaction and decision until you find a “weakest link” to break.
The classic is changing your way home from work to avoid the place you used to buy beer and / or cigarettes. I personally needed to cut back on booze and I had to stop walking the dog for a little bit while the cravings were more intense because walking the dog to the corner store to buy beer had become part of that morning ritual. It’s interesting to start considering your bad habits in that light!

Sometimes it’s just nice to have a lid and carry it around with you. Keep it up.

Have you checked if he’s dissolving caffeine tablets in Brita?
