Eiruvin 14b – one that drinks water to satisfy thirst makes a brocha of shehakol. R’ Tarfon says he makes borei nefoshos. Rav Chanon asked Abaya, what is the halachs? He answered, puk chazi my ama dbar – go see what people are doing.
Seeing what others do ESTABLISHES the halacha. Guess what? That is exactly why today we make a bracha of shehakol when we drink water!
In fact, there is even a principle that minhag of yidden (what ‘everyone’ is doing) is actually MEVATEL halacha.
