All food and drink stay at the table here. I offer them water whenever we do a potty break or if they ask me for some. Sippy cups until age 2 and then they use a regular cup. In the summer when we are outside I use those sport type bottles that have the different characters on top. They come with juice in them but I save the containers and we reuse as water bottles, everyone gets a different character. Even outside all the cups stay on the picnic table and they have to come over to it if they want a drink. Nobody ever carries cups around here...too many germs, spills, and fights. Seems to work well for us, nobody has ever complained.
