Is it more environmentally friendly to dump excess drinks down the sink drain or outside?

Question

I mean like soda, water, and other drinks.

Answer 1

££££££ Money and environmental costs. It is far, far better not to buy excess drinks in the first place. Much more environmental friendly not to open drinks and then not drink them. Buy glass bottles of drink and pour only a small amount out when needed. You can always get more and the glass bottles can be recycled. It will save you lots of money and much better for the environment too.

If you do have waste, then put it in your compost bin. It will help the fermentation process too. If you don't have a compost bin start one, or give your garden plants a drink of water or soda.

Answer 2

They cost money.Drink the entire bottle. you are environmentally well now.

Answer 3

If you have a compost pile,you can safely dump any drink on it.  Soda is really good for composting. The sugar is a treat for the organisms that eat the decaying stuff. Alcohol is OK,especially beer!

Answer 4

None of them are enviromentally friendly, because dumping excess drink is wasting water.

Answer 5

Well usually if it goes down the drain it goes back to nature with little to no evaporation. Dump it outside and you have some evaporation. You may not want to dump anything that would kill the bacteria that eats the waste. Make sure if you have your own septic system you keep things like chlorine to a bare minimum. Use rid-ex to keep the bacteria level up.

Answer 6

I'd say it's a waste to dump your drinks.   BUT if you cannot finish it or save it to drink later, and you must toss it--toss it down the drain if it's not water.
