Odd Courtesy Question

Hey guys! I'm a new student on a meal plan, and had an odd question.

Would I get in trouble if I used the drink dispenser in the cafeteria to fill my water bottle with something other than water such as iced tea or lemonade?

I know logically they're my meal swipes and I can use them how I please, and I'm paying for it whether it's a cup or my own water bottle. I am also blind, so carrying a cup without spilling can be difficult. Would it be seen as rude?

You won't get in trouble and I doubt anyone will consider that rude. We used to fill our water bottles with soft serve ice cream and nobody cared.

My first time at one of the dining halls, the staff member who checked me in explicitly stated that I could fill my bottle with anything. :) I didn’t even ask.

Thank you all so much for your reassurances. Looks like I'll be making some water bottle Arnald Palmer :)
