Sink water or bottled water

[Clover Heart 978]

Depends on the country. Here in Japan, I think the tap water is fine. I could drink it all day long. I end up getting bottled water here, but that's due to the lack of drinking fountains when one is out and about in Japan. The bottled waters are mostly fine, too. There are some brands I prefer, but just about anything's fine with me. But personally, I would prefer the tap water. I don't think it tastes too terribly different, but it's a lot cheaper.

 

America, though, ha! (Well, Michigan, anyway; don't know about other states.) I have to actively force myself to drink water in America for the simple fact that I know I'll get dehydrated if I don't. The tap water is gross, even when it's filtered, and I feel incredibly bloated after, like, 3 sips. The bottled water is slightly better, but not by much. Meijer's store brand of bottled water, Crystal Geyser and Ice Mountain all taste like ass. Dasani and Aquafina are okay, but not great. I most prefer Smart Water. To me, it just tastes like how it's supposed to taste. So, in America, I try to avoid water as much as I can, opting for green teas instead. Which sucks, because it's difficult to brew them cold. Those flavor shot thingies are good too. Least it makes it reasonably palatable. America, man... how'd we fuck up water this bad?

I prefer tap water over bottled water. Tap water is generally better for you because it's not contained in plastic. Plastic can slowly leach into water which can cause health problems. Plus, I don't like using plastic cause it's bad for the environment. Lol I sound like a hippy now.

For now, I prefer bottled water because I don't like how the sink water tastes in my house.

[Ricebug 555]

*gag* Tap?! even though I don't drink as much water as I should defiantly sticking with the bottled

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I honestly prefer bottled water, but I drink both to be honest, the tap water in my house isn't nasty and tastes perfect.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

Sink water? Bottled water?

Both.

I usually drink my water filtered. I'll only ever resort to commercially bottled if the water in that area is distinctly terrible!

[catnet 9,356]

I've never really liked the taste of bottled water, for some reason... tap water is a lot more bearable for me, and cheap too. ;~;

[#1FluttershyFan 206]

I hate bottled water because when I get it, it's usually warm. Even when it's not, sink water is just better.

[DeadAccount 4,603]

Actually I really prefer congen water. It's been filtered and it helps prevent cancer.

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

I just made myself a cup of tea with sink water.

[Guest]

Neither. I use a water filter to clean my water.

[Invincible 2,091]

I have a sterilized water filter installed on my sink. The taste is kind of weird and takes a bit of getting used to, but it isn't bad.

 

I hate most brands of bottled water because of the plastic aftertaste left in your mouth from the bottle seeping into the water, this happens particularly if it's something cheap. Otherwise it's probably overpriced, and those glass-bottle-packed water aren't that amazing either.

[10InTheTardis 509]

I don't see how water can taste different, it is water after all, so I prefer the cheaper one that doesn't waste plastic bottles, tap water.

 

Then again, apparently most people get something called "city water" from their taps, which makes me sick because of all the chemicals, in which case, I suppose if I'm ever visiting somewhere that has city water, I can just drink milk or bottled water, because I rarely stay at a place I'm visiting for more than a few days. Also, a little but of city water over a few days couldn't do much.

I am fortunate to live in an area with good tap water, I also live close to a natural spring and the water there if you get it directly is soo refreshing, it's great

[Hovershy 3,814]

I prefer bottled water but I usually drink from the sink because it's cheaper. I do have a purifier though because the tap water in my town is basically poisonous. 

[NonbinaryDuck 362]

Water bottle of course. Even though sink water is considered to be safe I still find it gross. Idk why haha

[Pastel 7,630]

I never drink sink water, I didn't know it was so popular.

[Troubleshoes Clyde 107]

It depends. I usually just drink water from a tap. I've got a well which gives delicious water but makes it hard to chug down tap water from the public system. It's quite disgusting to me. And I also hate bottle water for similar reasons.

[Grepper 3,192]

My family has a water filter installed on our sink. That's what I drink.

Drinking bottled water would be expensive, never mind the wastefulness of using all those plastic bottles.

[Gearbox10mm 794]

I hate bottled water. Water strait from the faucet is amazingly good, here at home at least.

 

The water you got from the fountains at my school was undrinkable. Disgusting stuff it was.   

[Magic Note 2,748]

I prefer bottled water because I like taking water with me, and sometimes I get thirsty while I'm out of the house. so bottled water it is.

[Brave Hooves 113]

Depends on where you live. I live in an area with a superior water system for the community so I'm fine either way. Bottled water is mostly for convenience sake.If you live in a place where the water is a weird color then get bottled, don't risk infections.

[Sidral Mundet 1,666]

Tap water (sink), because it's usually more convenient and more environmentally friendly as well as being exactly the same  (at least where I live) for a lot less money. 

[Omar 692]

Does filtered water count? Because that's mostly what I drink.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302]

Sink water?  On occasion, we get a "boil water" notice sent out from our town hall.  Like, don't drink water from your tap unless you've boiled the necessary amount of it ahead of time and then left it in a pitcher in the refrigerator for hours.  Also, how your sink water tastes is not consistent with how everyone else's sink water tastes.  Bottled water is consistent, taste-wise.  Bottled water is preferable, but I use sink because it's less expensive.
