Jumping into the bottled water debate a little late, but people know that they don't have to put a Nalgene bottle in the fridge the night before right? The other option that they have is to add ice, which tends to cool down the beverage making it all so delicious. I think that the biggest thing is related to the status of having bottled water as having a Nalgene/refillable water bottle costs less and is something that poor people do (for lack of a better term).
People do worse things everyday don't get me wrong and I mainly drink out of a refillable water bottle because it is cheaper not because of the environmental impact of it. A last shocker on the subject, if the water gets warm and you don't want to drink it, the other option is to (gasp) dump it out and refill it with cold water.
