| Jul 7, 2018 at 8:35 | comment | added | Eagle0600 | A subset of licenced premises must supply water "free of charge" and "by means other than a water tap located in a toilet facility." All other premises follow the "free of charge or at a reasonable cost" rule. Source: Liquor Regulation 2002, Section 27A. | |
| Apr 25, 2018 at 17:29 | comment | added | KRyan | In the northeast US, at least, I have never seen an establishment charge for water, even from a self-service beverage fountain. Pretty much every place I’ve been to has even had a separate set of (smaller, plastic, usually clear rather than branded) cups for water, available for free on request (with the purchase of something else, anyway). My wife tends to drink water by preference, and she takes it for granted that she can ask for a cup for water. I can’t recall a single time that this request was treated as anything out of the ordinary. | |

| Dec 12, 2014 at 19:12 | comment | added | Hagen von Eitzen | As the pricing rule for Queensland is quoted ("should not cost more than a glass of soft drink"), the German situation might be extended to state that some nonalcoholic drink must be available at a lower price than the cheapest alcoholic drink. I'd have to find the exact norm, though. | |
| Dec 11, 2014 at 2:52 | comment | added | Ken Y-N | Does anyone know the official Japan situation? Just about all non-upscale restaurants provide and actively refill water (or green or buckwheat tea) glasses for free without asking, and bottled water is a rarity on menus, at least in the kinds of places I frequent... | |

Changed "Europe" header to "Continental Europe" to explicitly exclude the UK. Bolded territory names for easier reference. Improved wording and linked region in many cases. Rearranged links to bottom for easier markdown reading.

Added North America and United States boilerplate. I researched California law directly on-line but couldn't find anything, so I put it under "no known regulations."
