His responses were 1- that i made my choice by drinking beer. If i was a designated driver i could get water.2- That hydration is essential and that i could buy a bottle for a dollar or two. 3-What beer festival gives out free water?

Whatever the reason, I was completely SHOCKED by this. Other complaints: No Italian prison beer, and two of the mystery beers were PBR and Iron City!!!
