Looking back in the past, i mean the old days,water in the creek, falls, rivers, and the alps,can be sip and drink..and it is Safe according to the History..AS we read poems about Rivers and Falls as clear as crystals and mirror like waters where you can see the fishes in the depth, wow,!!Now,as earth technology improved, so as the safety of our Waters in our river and streams deteriorated...Now,we buy drinking water for our safety, we just don't drink water in the faucet,in my case i don't drink water in any faucet because of my experience, i got infected, im not saying that all countries are the same, but in my case it happened, Do you drink Water in the faucet?Yes or no?and Why?

I do drink water from the faucet, but only when it is cold. The water where I live is OK enough. Haven't been sick all those years of drinking tap water. Now the water in my mother's province, in Lucban, Quezon... I think that water is sweet. I just take a glass, get some water directly from the faucet, and gulp!

I think it is still cleaner in the "bukid". I'm not demeaning the "bukid", I am always fond of the countryside where everything is still clean, fresh, and simpler.
Here in the city, lifestyle is very unhealthy. I wonder why anyone would wanna live here. But we do because of the conveniences

The air is cleaner ,and it depends on where bukid are you, there are mountainous bukids where there are flowing streams i think the water is cleaner..I don't like living in the city, or a condo living, i really want a house with a land and a garden..But do you drink water in the faucet?

Yes. I drank water straight from the tap when I was a teenager. We had rugby training and I was parched. I did not bring along my water bottle along and I just opted to drink straight from the tap. I didn't get sick though so I think it was okay.
Although I know it is anything but safe when it comes to drinking unboiled water.

I had amoebic problem early on in life.After that i tend to drink boiled water or mineral water when i'm out or on tours.I don't trust tap water.As a child i remember drinking from the tap but later i'm a bit apprehensive.In the good old days the streams and rivulets were unpolluted hence safe to drink.

i also experienced the same since then i became aware,hospital bills are more expensive then buying or boiling a water...i hope the good old days and the clear rivers and streams are still here like the improved technology of the world...but sad to say Technologies are improved and the Natural resources deteriorated...

not at all, here in our place, the water is safe but most of the water in other places are not safe to drink so extra precautions are needed before drinking it. to be safe, just buy a bottled drinking water if you're not sure if its safe or not.

if we observe people living in that area, some are used to it, just like your place , does it mean you have to be used to it, so that the stomach can adjust, if people in the provinces drink tap water in their area, they can drink tap water too, in your area, right,i think its about immunization,if you are immune to the taste of tap water in your place then you will complain if you taste another type of water in other areas..but as you said buy a bottled drinking water if you are not sure...Thanks!

I could tell you all about how a lot of bottled water is tap water but I could also just show you the penn and teller episode. Seriously tap water in most places is perfectly fine and healthy.

oh well ,thanks i would be glad, nowadays water business is a profitable business,there are new technology that alters the contaminated content of an un-safe water...it is true that the water in the bottled water came from Tap, it was only purified, or distilled or alkalized to make the water safer....i will check the link after this.Thanks!
