Editor's pick: As we wrap up #DrinkUpAustin, I want to shine a light on local startup FreeWater. This eco-friendly company donates 10 cents for every beverage sold to the local nonprofit Well Aware. The company uses its cans + cartons as advertising space. Make sure to keep an eye out for these free bottles at local spots such as Zilker Park and Barton Springs. 💦
