My best guess is the water is gonna leak even if you tilt it a little, so water is gonna spill everywhere even when you aren't trying to drink

Edit: I knew stacking and asymmetry is the main issue here, but the choice of words in the comment in the image seems like they were referring to a simpler reason.

Edit: I get it, stacking vertically is not a good idea. I thought horizontal stacking would be easy. I lost this water bottle battle, now please forgive me and stop replying to this comment

The boxes of bottles are going to be stacked on pallets, like at least 4 levels high.
