Bottled water or tap water?

I'm curious to see whether most people drink their water from bottles or whether they drink it from the tap. Personally, I drink bottled water when I can afford it (being a college student, money is tight sometimes), mainly because there's a lot of lime plants around my campus and the water tastes funky. What about you?

I main drink bottled. It's hard in the summer when it's hot we seem to go through so much of it, it does get costly.

I have to admit that I like bottled water better due to the taste, however it is tough to live with the pollution that comes from bottled water. If you think of the shear amount of greenhouse gases that are released just through transportation it is enough to make you switch.

It doesn't matter because most bottled water is from the tap itself,some water bottlers will state this fact on their labels.

I really dont care either way. The only reason I would drink bottled water is because I dont have access to a faucet. Anyways, bottled water can help your teeth since it has fluoride in it. If tap water is safe, why bother wasting money on bottled?

I do prefer bottled water to tap water, but obviously a tight budget does not allow such luxuries! You can get fairly cheap bottled water though, if you buy it in large containers from supermarkets.
