How often do you drink tap water?

Tap water drinker here. Hubby drinks bottled..heheh I many times refill his bottled with tap...lol. My steop sis drinks bottled and her kids do as well, their dentist pointed out that might be the cause of their cavities. Bottled doesn't have as much floride=/ I drink tap cause I am cheap they both taste about the same to me.

Hi, I think that it's not good to drink tap water (it depends where do you live certainly)because it is city water and it's not very clean.. I think is better bottled water but there are exceptions always:)

I always drink tap water. I don't drink bottled water because it's too expensive for my budget. The tap water here in my town is ok. I don't think that bottled water is any better than good tap. If you have problem tap water, or a well with issues, you need to get a filter and forgo the bottle. * I sometimes use washed out plastic Miriclewhip bottles for when I don't want to walk to the tap. I drink a fair bit of water as my meds dry me out. * http://ninecooks.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/miraclewhip.jpg

here in place that i work we dont drink tap water we buy mineral bottled water in house in my philippines we heat the water from faucet before we drink it when there is no available mineral water because we live in province but for me i like the taste of mineral water than tap water.

This is nice topic discuss, long time ago when i was still a child, i always drinks tap water. It is easy to get water. Everybody said to me it is not good for health. But i just feel ok with no problem. Then, i just stop drink tap water immidiately after my uncle get sick and need to send him to hospital for medical checking. When the doctor check for the health problem. The doctor said to my uncle, he get infected by the smal virus inside water, but my uncle did not drink tap water, he just take a bath from pipe. Then i realise, how dangerous to drink tap water. You need to boiled the water before you drink it.

i prefer not to drink water from the tap directly..only if i have no other choices around. in my country we usually get the water boiled first or we opt for mineral water

I do not drink tap water ... not only does it taste nasty to me, but I have done some research into how they "treat" it and since I try to not ingest pollutants and poisons when ever possible I choose to drink only bottled (reverse osmosis processed - not just any bottled) or purified by a filter. I have a filter however it doesn't remove the nasty fluoride and needs new filter elements right now. I have been buying bottled until I get filter elements and fluoride removers for my system. I also did some looking into the water reports for my area and was appalled to discover that it is high in ARSENIC where I live! I think that if it was just the taste I could get used to it, but considering the multiple health risks I try to avoid tap water when I can. Hope this helps! ~Rachel

I drink both bottled and tap water. Our tap water here seems to be pretty good, and I actually think it tastes a little bit better than some of the bottled water I've had. I still get bottled water occasionally cause it's convenient and everything, but I also drink the tap water.

I am not much of a soda drinker. I usually drink our tap water sometimes with a little lemon juice in it. I dont think bottled water is any better than tap water.

I drink bottled mineral water, much better if boiled water my digestive system so sensitive if comes of water. Good for health purified water :)

It depends where one is. For instance, in my city, our tap water has passed all health standards making it healthy to drink. On the other hand, our neighboring city's tap water has no passed health standards. I mean it is drinkable, but it is not recommended, so whenever we visit our neighboring city, we buy bottled water which brings me to my next point. Bottled water is mostly tap water, well at least Aquafina is. Don't believe me? Check this article out! http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/07/27/pepsico.aquafina.reut/index.html -Feel Free to Disagree!

i dont tend to drink tap water that much if i have to then i place it in the micro wave to heat it up and let it cool down in the fridge cause doesent Tap water have bleach or iron in it ? plus it has a funny after taste to it if you really think about it

I put our tap water through a Britta pitcher to be filtered. I can't taste much difference between it and most bottled water.

No we don't drink tap water as it is recommended to drink bottled water as we are an island and our water has to go through a plant and is sea water so it tastes gross.

I use tap water more than bottled water.

Scottish water is pretty good but I still filter to get rid of some of the chemicals. I won't drink bottled anymore as there is no difference in taste or health benefits and bottled water is bad for the environment, not just because of the actual bottles but also the depletion of natural water sources.

hello, i dont drink tap water here where i live coz thier water came from deepwell and not taste good so we drink mineral water, but everytime i visiting my mother's n law i drink tap water there coz its taste good and it came from spring water
