> How many litres of water does it take to make a litre of mineral water?

Interesting question, I found this article[1] which says:

- for North American companies, it takes 1.39 liters to make one liter of water

- That's less than the global averages of a liter of soda, which requires 2.02 liters of water

- A liter of beer, meanwhile, needs 4 liters of water, wine demands 4.74 liters. Hard alcohol, it turns out, is the greediest, guzzling 34.55 liters of water for every liter
