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.
