Did people use water bottles in the 1800s? How was water transported on a personal basis? Water skins were a thing right? Why the fuck do I care?

nah people only drank gatorade back then to avoid waterborne diseases

They used waterskins, canteens, jugs, buckets and barrels for short-term storage or transport and stayed closer to natural (rivers, springs, ponds) and artificial (wells, fountains, cisterns) water sources to refill them from; they brewed (small) beer which kept better preserved for longer storage or further transport in kegs and glass bottles.
