Do you drink tap water or bottled mineral water?

What water do you prefer to drink? Tap or bottled? And is it because of the flavour or do you realy believe that bottled water is better for you? I recently saw a documentary that reported that tap water was fine in England in terms of safety.

I HATE bottled water, I only drink fresh water out of a spring if I am going to drink water.

Bottled water is okay. Hmm, I don't have a spring to drink fresh out of! *LOL* Unless you really meant to say sink. *LOL* But anyway. Fresh water is the best! :)

I am from India and drink tap water here.. but the tap water which comes to home comes from the river "Siruvani", in Coimbatore. According to wikipedia, The water of Siruvani river is known for its tasty water,and it is typically known to be the second sweetest lake water in the world.It is one of the main water source of Coimbatore city So we peoples in coimbatore have no harm in drinking tap water. but when i used to travel outside the city, i usually take mineral water!

Bottled water is okay. I prefer tap. I just like the taste better. I definitely don't drink enough though.

Interesting. I actually prefer tap water too. I find some brands of bottled water a bit bitter - is that because of the high mineral content do you think?

Tap water is too clean to drink directly , i think. Bottled water is better than tab water, because it doen't contain harmful chemical . but we can't believe bottled water's purity. so we usually drink the purified water come from water purifier with tap water or we boil tapwater with something like cornmeal , and than drink. The quality of tap water must be deterioate for running time.
