Firstly, always get some sleep in the plane. Many people complain about the noise, but because the noise is so constant it should actually help you sleep. Don't think about it and eventually you won't even hear the engines roar any more. When you arrive force shift your daily rhythm as many hours it takes to make it fit the time zone you're going to.
If you arrive in the morning jetlag will be a breeze. You just do everything you normally would at the shifted time and you'll be knackered in the evening. Just go to bed at a fairly late hour, after 9 pm at least, and you'll get up at around 6 or 7 in the morning.
If you arrive in the afternoon you'll want to do basically the same as above. Your first day will just be a bit shorter, so that might make it a bit easier for those who can't put up with lack of sleep.
If you arrive in the evening or at night, go to bed right away but force yourself to wake up at an appropriate time like 7 or 8 in the morning. Then just proceed like when you arrive in the morning.
If you follow these instructions diligently your jetlag is almost sure to be gone. No medication, only one day of "suffering". The only drawback is that you need to sit through that first day which might be difficult and probably takes practice to get right. As far as I know it always works when you don't take any toxics, so no alcohol, no heroin, no medication of any kind, no caffeine, no THC, no smoking etc.. If you do take those it might be more difficult to get out of jetlag.

Is there actually a difference? As far as I know bottled water is either of the same or lower quality as tap water. Lower, because there's more stuff left in bottled water (minerals etc. that can be healthy) Also, in some areas of my country the water that comes out of the tap is the same water they sell bottled at higher rates elsewhere.
