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

Curiosity: If that is the case, that there is no objective measure of Muttar or Assur here as is befitting a Ben Torah (e.g. Shabbos 114a) then shouldn’t it stand to reason that this is an entirely social point? If you are somewhere where no one would even give a second look at the most venerable of people drinking from a water fountain then shouldn’t there be no issue here? Which, I don’t think is too much to presume, is the case in the vast majority of places today.
