food Do you drink tap water?

[KatonRyu 1,033]

Tap water in the Netherlands is perfectly safe to drink, so most of what I drink is actually tap water. I like it better than mineral water, actually.

Here in Ontario, the quality of tap water is amazing. We Ontarians have a global tap water rating at 98.99%. I filter my tap water with a BRITA water filter though.

I find tap water gross. I can drink it, but I'd much rather drink normal bottled water. It tastes a lot better to me. Somehow I can identify when water is tap water and when water is mineral water. It's distracting.

 

This topic made me thirsty for water. xP

* my kitchen tap has a filter in it, so i drink tap water all the time, just filtered.

[Plume 922]

All the time! Here in Australia the tap water is perfectly normal and safe. Always sort of cold, too!

 

When I went on a trip in China to see relatives though... No way. Nu-uh. That stuff has black flecks in it and it tastes like metal and let's be real it might kill you.

The tap water here is definitely safe and drinkable, I drink it all the time. Our tap has an integrated filter in it, and we also have a separate filter that we filter the water through a second time. Only by choice though, because filtered tap water has a much cleaner taste and feel than unfiltered tap water in my opinion. ^^

I usually don't mind tap water at all, but I'm VERY critical about what is in it. The reservoir we get our water from here isn't exactly the best in the world in terms of pure, clean water, always been a weird taste to it. Thank Luna for Brita pitchers!

[Envy 6,191]

I do not... Not that I can say I drink a lot of water or anything. I drink a bottle a day...er...night at work, but that's it. We have a filter in the fridge at home. I wouldn't drink it without using that.

[Zyrael 1,471]

I drink plenty of unfiltered tap water. It's perfectly healthy! it tastes great and... and-

 

*dies*

 

 

I can't afford to spend money on bottled water with the amount of water I drink

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I'll probably fill up an empty bottle with tap water, then add some sort of flavoring. So, technically I drink tap water.

[DJW 142]

As far as I know, very few people here in the UK don't drink tap water. If they don't then it's usually tap water filtered to remove any limescale (a lot of chalk areas here).

[Night Silent 93]

Yep. I drink tap water. Sometimes it's refreshing, sometimes it's not.

[Gearbox10mm 794]

I only drink tap water. I keep at least a half dozen juice bottles filled with tap water in the fridge at all times. Most store bought bottled water tastes weird to me, and some of it is down right awful.

[ARagY 1,152]

Why would you not

 

That water in bottles is full of crap

[BlackWater627 700]

I drink tons of water but it's filtered post-tap. We've got arsenic poisoning where I live. 

[Member Berry 1,217]

The tap water where I live is perfectly fine. I always drink tap water. I went on holidays to the seaside a few years ago and the water there tasted like salt

I live in the South Wales valleys and our tap water is fine  

[Denim&Venöm 19,248]

Yeah I drink it, even with high amounts of minerals in it. Been doing it for 14 years and I'm still fine. 

[Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343]

No, I only drink filtered water. Where I live they intentionally puts fluoride in tap water. Why? -- you may ask. Because, the government says they care about our teeth, of course! Not buying it? Yeah, me neither. Not only is fluoride in our tap water, but arsenic is as well. How lovely!

[SquipyCheetah 449]

If the tap water is cold, then no. But if it's warm, yeah sure. 

[frecklesareblooming 225]

God, no. The tap water where I live tastes like liquified garbage. We just stock up on bottled water or go without it, because it isn't worth the torture, drinking from the tap.

[bronywhocodes 218]

yeah. its fine down here. even the water bottles i have are re-used.

[KCN 5]

Of course I do.

 

Bottled water is just tap water that has had time for chemicals from plastic to sink into it.

[InfectedPone 1,550]

I have a filter that runs off of my tap to get cleaner tap water and I never drink it unfiltered.

[CheeryFox 23,822]

I drink from a spring house, in the mountains. 

[Spanish In Physician 295]

I do indeed drink water from the tap. Though, it is a very picky process. It all depends on where I am, and how the water smells. I know it sounds strange, but if I catch a hint of sulfur in the scent of the water I won't drink it. The reason for this being, it is usually accompanied by a particularly foul taste to my tongue. Its somewhat strange, as the water in different towns around me each have unique flavors to the tap. One of which is, you guessed it, sulfur. The water at my work, however, is by far the strangest. Every time I drink from the tap at work, a hint of a garlic flavor comes with it. It's very peculiar, but not bothersome to my tongue so I still drink it.
