Bottled water

Post Reply New Topic

I only drink bottled water, never tap water.

When I was younger I always said I hated the taste of water and wouldn't drink it plain but eventually I learned that what I hated was tap water.

I like mountain spring water but I don't particularly like flavored water.

i knew there was something wrong with my tap water when i would put it in a jar in the fridge, and after 3 days it would be totally slimey. i tasted it and it was reminiscent of oily scrotal sweat. no more, i use either bottled water or filtered brita water.

I drink both, bottled and tap water. The best water is from a good well but I can't get it often.
I don't like flavored water unless some fresh lemon is available. I like to put a piece of it in.

I pour tapwater into my filtered water bottle which usually has ice cubes in it as well. I don't really like the plastic "disposable" ones because they are very wasteful and have a large environmental impact if they are not recycled

I voted for bottled although I sometimes drink tap water. It's not very nice here and smells chlorinated. That said, boiled it makes the most delicious tea! Go figure.

I grew up with fizzy water and so my first preference is carbonated water. Even the cheap stuff from Tesco for 19p for a huge bottle is ok.

To a lesser degree I buy bottled still water like Volvic or Evian (it's a lot cheaper here than in the US) especially to have by my bedside-I always wake up at some point and usually am thirsty. My hearing is acute and I could hear the little bubbles go pop in the carbonated bottle, so can't have that by my bedside.

I never have flavoured water but have known to put the odd squeeze of lemon into water.

Filtered tap. It may or may not be the healthiest option out there, but it's healthier on the wallet, and not drinking it at all would surely do me in. Beggars and choosiness and all that.

Also, all those who drink bottled water are fossil fuel abusers. I jest of course, but consider the crude oil that could be going into more important stuff like computer components rather than your water bottles.

Water's water. I drink both community and bottled water. Unless you can afford some type of reverse osmosis system, you're going to have some contaminants whether natural or man-made.

Tap. I'll sometimes buy bottled if I get thirsty when I'm out, but then I'll refill the bottle from the tap over and over until I lose it.

I like it from the tap. I live in a region with excellent tap water.

It's so good you can't actually tell the difference.

When I'm in London, though. I still drink the tap water, but I don't like it. I'm cheap, so I'll never drink bottled water unless I'm abroad in a country where the tap water is unhealthy.

Tap water only. We've got very good tap water in our country - it's usually better than bottled.

Straight out of the tap. The flavour doesn't bother me at all, what I like more than anything from drinking water is the sense of refreshment it gives. Besides, whatever small contaminants might still be there, I believe my body can handle.
