Reply To: Is it proper for an adult to drink from a water fountain?

It wasn’t pride, it was sarcastic humor. The meforshim in my Nach (which I named) clearly state the soldiers who were accepted were standing up to drink – I don’t know which meforshim you have in your Nach. The problem would be with bending over to drink, and nobody is saying drinking from a public fountain by bringing the water up to your mouth is a problem. You aren’t making sense, and you sound bitter.
