I love to drink bottled water. It's convenient and there's some that's flavoured as well. I like the orange flavoured stuff as well as the plain stuff.

Does anybody else like bottled water, or do you prefer to drink it from a tap?

I like the taste of bottled water but sometimes it tastes like plastic.

Well it depends if the tap water is gross. I have lived somewhere, my dorm, that you could smell the chlorene in the tap water

Tap Water fo' SHIZZLE. I don't have the money for the sheer amount of water I drink. I worry about my Kidneys from a hereditary Kidney Disease I /may/ obtain later in life. So I drink TONS of water.

Tap water is nasty and carcinogenic, but sometimes it's the only water available. I prefer flavored bottled water with carbonic acid, sucrose or fructose, and flavorings.

I have to drink tap. I drink about two 40 Oz bottles of water a day.

I have to drink tap water for now too, but it's not good long term. While sodas increase the risk of diabetes chlorinated water increases the risk of cancer. One is more treatable than the other for now, so if I could choose more often I'd choose sodas, although the best choice is distilled water.

Having little to no money severely limits my options. :(

Drinking from the tap is dangerous here in terms of bacteria and germs and all those things, so, only bottled water.. if plain water at all. Most of the time I just drink bottled cold green tea.

From the tap, then chilled in the refrigerator until I'm ready for it. I buy a six-pack of bottled water every few months and re-use the bottles over and over.

I'm spoiled. My house has a well in the backyard, and our fridge is hooked up to it from a purification system. I get cold, fresh, mountain well water. MmmmMMMMmmn! It's the best tasting water in the world.

At home, I'll take tap water if it's really cold. We keep a pitcher in the fridge, and I've found that dropping a few (clean!) silver coins in it keeps the taste from getting funky for a while (antimicrobial properties and all that).

We also keep cheap store-brand bottled water in the car, because it's convenient to have when we're up on campus during the day.

I also like the citrus flavored sparkling water, the kind without sugar and chemicals. Basically club soda with a bit of fresh lemon flavor.
