Yes.
I was going to regale with stories of 3 martini lunches and sipping from my bourbon flask in the copy room.
I noticed in one WalMart warehouse the crew leaders (actual employees compared to us 300 agency types, would disappear two minutes before the break time, only to be in/out of the washroom faster than they could zip/unzip their fly. They would then complain that money was being lifted out of their lunch bags. It was always twenty or forty dollars. I asked a paramedic buddy of mine what cocaine/crack cost in that city, and he said twenty or forty dollars!
Of course, the "temps" were blamed, even though you could question the idiocy of leaving "kash" in your lunch bag as preposterous, and the lockdown sign in/sign out would simply have to use some "cash dust" powder and a light over the signout. But if you did that you'd have had to fire the guilty, and they're yours!!

Seriously??? The cost of drugs, no matter what kind, is based on quality and quantity. No one of any knowledge (and why would a paramedic be a good source for information on drug costs??) would answer the question "twenty or forty dollars". Cocaine/ crack can be had (in any city) for as little as some favors and as much as millions.
It is probably against health code. The exact regs vary, but I bet that's why.
This wouldn't be a health code violation, water is readily available within walking distance, per the OP's post.
The only thing where there may be some legal intervention would be under the ADA if OP had a medical condition needing ready access to his liquids. That's quite a stretch from what he shared.

I'm pretty sure she meant the Health Dept in relation to cross-contamination of the produce, not the OP's health.
The same reason restaurant workers aren't supposed to have drinks on the food line....
Its a stupid policy, but its apparently the policy and I dont think there is much of anything you can do other then obey if the manager is actually enforcing it.

... especially at a place like Wal-Mart, which undoubtedly has strict procedures for violations.

Yes, it would. A drinking fountain nearby is fine. A bottled drink that someone has already drank out of stored near food for retail sale is not. It could spill and contaminate the produce.
