What do you do with the large jar of water?
Obviously drink it. It's one of the best health advice to drink a couple glasses of water when you wake up.
I agree it's a good idea to drink water in the morning, it just seemed funny that filling it was mentioned and then nothing more.

I guess I expected it to show up in the final step, like Chekhov's Gun.
