Nouns can be classified in a few different ways, and one way nouns are differentiated is as "countable" versus "uncountable." Chair and occasion are countable nouns; laughter and water (generally) are not. And uncountable nouns can't take a plural. However, usage changes and custom usages come into being. So in a restaurant, for example, it would be normal usage for the hostess to tell a server, "That table needs four waters," meaning, of course, four glasses (countable noun) of water.
