Yes. Love cold tap water. That’s pretty much all I drink that’s non alcoholic.

Yeah.
Bottled water is tastier, though.

I used to, but where I currently am, the water tastes treated (floride?) which doesn’t seem like a good thing. I still drink it sometimes, and cook with it, but mainly when I drink it it’s been through a filter first.

I filter it through a Brita pitcher. I use the filtered water for cooking, tea, ice, etc.

Our water changed while I was growing up. It wasn’t bad when I was little, but by my high school years, our town water treatment plant went to shit. I moved away…. a long way away when I was 19. Now, the water where I live is really lovely and sweet and it’s mostly what I drink.

The water here is fantastic. There are glaciers about 90 minutes away that feed our rivers.

I remember the water when I lived in Southern California and it was dreadful.

I filter mine. I rarely drink water outside of my home except bottled water.

Yes, filtered. We had well water as a kid and it was wonderful.

Incidentally, there are large areas of the Big Island of Hawaii that drink rainwater that drains off the roofs into large holding tanks that each house maintains. There are health risks, but with proper treatment, it’s drinkable.

I think my fish get better water than I do. I run their water through one of these before I do a water change.

Yes, I am drinking some right now as a matter of fact.

Mmmm, water.

The water from my tap tastes just fine. I would never pay for bottled water.

All the time. I rarely drink milk and even more rarely pop. The water here is good and safe. I fill bottles and take it with me whenever I can.

Yes, it comes out of the tap fresh pure and chilled.

The water here is known for being good, and I do sometimes drink it straight from the tap, but most of the time I drink water that’s been filtered through the refrigerator’s dispenser.

anniereborn's avatar

I do now. Growing up we had rusty water and it was awful.

Rarebear's avatar

Of course. Bottled water is usually just bottled tap water. When you pay for bottled water you’re paying for the convenience of the bottle, not the water.

JLeslie's avatar

Yes. Mostly, I drink filtered tap water, but I’ll drink straight from the tap too.

Tap water here in West Virginia is gross and it tastes like salt.

MollyMcGuire's avatar

I cook with it, but I drink bottled water only.

tishatron's avatar

Yes, when I am somewhere where it is safe. At home I use a filter because the tap water does not taste good. With the filter it is fine.

awesomepayal's avatar

Yes I drink tap water.
