I took it to mean bottled water. We have a drinking foutain but I didn't mark water.
That said, you're taking your life in to your own hands if you drink the water in Galway!

Telecommuters get nada, zip, zilch!

What, no fridge at your place?

The question was "what does your employer or organization provide" - they don't provide anything. I provide for myself.

Telecommuters can't bitch about the services, your employer supplies you with the best service there is, the ability to make your own workplace!
I love telecommuting, I remember the last contract that allowed it very fondly, back in 2000.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I wasn't complaining - I was just stating I miss on any extra perks that the other office staff may get. I live in a different state (over 6 hours away) so it's not like I can go in sometimes. I probably get more done than if I was at the office, though. I am very grateful that when I had to move, my boss let me keep my job. We are barely staying above water in this economy so there probably wouldn't be many perks anyway. I love not having to dress up or put on makeup for work, or commuting, driving, getting gas, etc.

Given that I am my own employer...
Mango smoothies (or any fruit)
hot chocolate in the winter, hmmm, spiced with rum or port wine
Yerba Mate
Sun tea, hot tea, etc. There are these awesome teas that I get from a place called Mountain View Tea. Google it. 
Not being a coffee drinker, but occasionally people bring coffee. My latest coffee pleasure is this organic Colombian Espresso coffee that my friend Lili brings over. Yumm!
That's about it.

Whatever we want, we get it!
There's a supermarket nearby and I sometimes do the groceries
It probably helps that I work at a small company with only a few employees.
It's an OO world.

That's the great part of working for a small company...

I can only prepare my mate with teabags. I haven't been able to find a store where I can buy my guampa. And there are a lot of Southamericans around here, especially from Argentina...

i saw some people voted for Beer (or anything else alcoholic). I was wondering if it were for certain occasion or daily consumption 
|
|
|
|
|
We only get beer on Fridays after 3:00pm and we're limited to 1 bottle. We also get them on special occasions like parties.
|
|

We had a nice bar with beer always on tap when I worked at the Air Force base. We usually drank on Friday afternoons. 
|
|
|
|
|
We get beer every Friday after 3:30pm. There isn't really a limit to what we're allowed to drink so most of us catch public transport on Fridays to avoid DUI.
My team leader's reasoning is that free beer leads to happier employees and therefore better productivity during the week. I think his logic is sound, but head office (which is in another state) would probably still disapprove if they ever found out they were shouting us booze

I keep a 12 pack in the fridge in my office.

Not now, but in the past (pre-bubble) we had a beer bash every Friday at 3pm. They would actually go get a keg and I have fond memories of the blender mixing up margaritas in the lobby.
I remember once looking at my bug log and I commented on a niggly little UI bug: "Go outside and enjoy yourself! This really doesn't matter!". That didn't go over too well. 
The best bit was that because most people commuted there was bulk of the keg left which went home with the lucky winner.
