They could have drank it for free or for minimal tax investment but now they have to give money to Nestle to do so while also polluting the planet with plastic bottles

Very few people have to drink Nestle’s products.

They do if they want to drink their water, which was taken.

What argument are we having? If people would drink the water out of the tap, or drink it out of a Nestle bottle, they're drinking the same amount of water. Bottled water may be inefficient of other resources, may cause pollution, but it doesn't waste water.

According to this: https://foodprint.org/blog/plastic-water-bottle/ it costs about 5 liters of water to make one plastic bottle, so based on that, yes, it wastes a massive amount of water.
