New California law allows liquor companies to pay for free rides

I think most, if not all, stands that accept the DD coupons can draw regular filtered water through their fountains if you ask. The DD coupons (it's the coupon that gets you the drink; you need the wristband to redeem the coupon) are only good for product that is not individually inventoried (fountain drinks, coffee, hot chocolate; nothing bottled).

Pro tip: you get the DD promo by signing a pledge sheet at Guest services at any concourse, but the coupons are only accepted at a few designated stands (on Club level, only the stand by section 230).

There are also some water fountains -- in Club, above section 202, by the bathrooms at 210 and 220, and the group area around 231, IIRC).

FWIW, I’ve asked for plain water in the past and been told they cannot do it. Have you been able to get them to serve you anything other than soda?

Good point on the coupon/wristband distinction.

I depends on the stand, I'm guessing. I know the one by 205 has not had plain water, historically... but the water fountains are just 10 yards away. (I usually walk in with a quart-sized cup anyway; security lets open drinks through if they can inspect them.) Any stand will add ice to your cup on request.

Coffee and hot chocolate (and tea?) are other options printed right on the coupon.
