i use tap water at home because its a well that has great water. when im anywhere but home i like bottled as long as its not dasani or aquafina (the pepsi and coke brands) they are disgusting which is not suprising considering they are remineralized water, they taste so gross, would rather go dry

Studies have shown that in most cases tap water is actually better than bottled water. Tap water has to meet higher standards and has less bacteria, etc. in it. Here's one article on the subject. http://www.case.edu/pubaff/univcomm/water.htm

I prefer bottled water to tap water. It is safer. The only thing is, tap water tastes better than bottled water. So I guess you have to give up one thing for the other.

I can remember about 8 years ago when the store I worked in started carrying bottled water saying, I can't imagine actually having to pay for water to drink, this idea won't work, well don't I look silly now. I do prefer bottle water especially the newer flavored waters.

I PERFER BOTTLE WATER CAUSE TAP WATER IS NOT FILTERED AND I DONT THINK IT IS SAFE UNLESS IT BOILED

I really don't like the taste of city water...or the thought of all the chemicals they put in it to make it "safe" to drink. I love my dad's well water though. But since I'm married, I don't get to drink it all that often, so I prefer bottled water to the city water that I have access to.

You really like the taste of well water? We have a softener but I still just can't handle the taste of it.
Thanks for the reply ;-]

We have well water with sulfur in it which tastes terrible so we drink and cook with bottled water only.

I drink bottled water almost all the time. In my hometown they say we have very good tap water compared to most cities, but I have gotten so used to bottled water that tap water doesn't taste good. I will drink tap water if there is no alternative, but most of the time, it's bottled water for me. I even take several bottles with me to work.

Bottled water all the way, i live in the midwest and i swear all the tap water here tastes like dirt. It's gross. I cook with bottled water as well as just drink it.
