I generally don't drink water from the tap; especially from water fountains. I prefer bottled water, even though I know it is expensive. I even have one of those water coolers in my house because I drink so much bottled water. It is very convenient because it has a hot water option. I make fresh teas really quickly this way.

i don't drink water from the tap. it seems a little unhyginic to me. i prefer bottled water, though it is expensive. well, it is better to spend on bottled water rather than on the heavy medical bills.

I absolutely agree. I was an environmental science major in college. I had to study all types of city water pumped in from different areas. Each county can set their own rules as to what will go in the water...sometimes it is BLEACH. LOL.

No, I don't drink water from tap (unless I absolutely have to). We have a water filter in our refrigerator that we use. I don't really drink bottled water either, unless I am away from the house. I guess I just feel safer using the filtered water from the fridge.

For some people they develop a certain taste for particular types of water. You are fond of the water from the fridge. I'm fond of water from my zephyrhills water cooler. LOL. I have even started filling up small containers to reuse on the go...I'm trying to go green. LOL.

I dont drink from tap anymore, now that we got the purina that you attach it on your sink, I think thats more refreshing anyway. I also drink Deer park which I think that is the best natural water

Health is Wealth and this is the main reason I try and turn a nelson eye towards tap water. I always use filtered water or bottled water. Water constitute 70% of your body so why take such a big chance.

I have always been interested in buying a Britta. I was a science major in school and there is a different taste after the filtration. How do you like your Britta?

distilled water - shows a big gallon of distilled water that i started drinking influenced by my child who requires it (just like any other child). it doesn't have a taste.
ever since i had a child i started drinking distilled water that we have delivered every now and then. it doesn't have a taste. although when i'm in other people's place i don't tend to be choosy.

Yes I drink water from the tap. But I also will buy bottled water when I am traveling. I don't have my own house so I won't invest in something I will be leaving in a matter of months, you know some of those filtering systems. I have moved quite a bit and never looked into how much it costs to have those big bottles delivered to where I'm living.

Yes i drink water from the tap, as well as the rest of my family. We buy bottled water for emergencies, and for my husband to take to work with him.

I hate tap water!! I always drink bottled water although they are times I have no choice but to drink tap water. But they do say that tap water is more healthier than bottled water as bottled water contains more chemicals that are harmful than tap water.. but Thubs up to tap water all the way...

I almost always drink bottled water. It is really handy to have the instant hot water feature and the water cooler saves us a bunch of money instead of just buying the small bottles all the time.

I drink water from the tap on during the winter as thats the only time its cold enough and it comes from a well. In the summer I either drink bottled water or I have a culligan machine that takes those big 5 gallon blue jugs. I dont like city tap water as I feel there are "things" in it and it never really gets that cold. Or its all just in my mind but hey thats me.
