We live in America/Canada. Not Ethiopia. The water that comes from your kitchen sink is perfectly fucking fine to drink. In fact most of your bottled waters are tap. Your not going to get sick. Your not going to die. So stop acting like tap water is poison. Not to anyone specific on NS, just something that pisses me off. /rant

This...

but I also drink straight from the faucet.  I think people should just be aware that if the water in their area is drinkable then why not drink it?  Think about all the countries across the globe that don't have this privilege.

i dont know if you guys pay attention to bottled water...
DEER PARK has "springs" all around PA. one of the largest ones is in Bangor, PA. 15 minutes from my place. Bangor also has one of the largest waste management facilities in the country haha.
and NESTLE water (poland springs i believe) says straight up on the bottle "bottled allentown, pa public water"

people don't realize that when they buy bottled water, they are paying valuable money for fucking WATER. water is is the most abundant compound on earth don't spend extra money to get it in a bottle you are gonna dump anyway

what do you think people did before we had all these filters? they drank it without filtering so you should have no problems drinking water thats on most times cleaner and better for you than bottled water

Brita + Sigg bottle.  Something about ice cold water in metal bottles makes it taste so much better.

they do thats why people are urged to not use them but the filters take just about everything out depending on how up to date your well pump/filter system is

i have no choice. when i want water i have to wlak my ass outside and go to the well, lower the bucket and bring it up. you people and your filters are too worried about whats in the water. what does not kill you makes you stronger.

i inadvertently swallow gallons and gallons of mississippi/rock river water every summer and i'm pretty sure i have a rock solid immune system because of it. drank central american tap water for a week (against recommendations) without ever getting sick. bottled water is over rated.

water thats comes out of a hose tastes good...

but i have filter in my fridge in my dorm cause the water from those sinks doesn't taste or look too clean. I'm sure it's perfectly safe to drink though.

and bottled water is colder when you buy a 36 pack? You're a fucking idiot, it's called a refrigerator

Tap water is awesome, I drink at least 1.5 gallons a day. I agree with the guy further up, all these sissies drinking bottled water probably have shitty immune systems.

My tap water tastes delicious. It's slightly sweet, and much better tasting than bottled water.


Isn't most US tap water fluoridated by the government?

i dont always drink from the tap, but this is because we have a well, and sometimes tha water smells like sulfur. When it does i drink filtered or bottled water until we test it, but I think thats a little different than what the people op is reffereing to are doing

only time I don't drink it is when I know the piping in a house I'm staying at is sketchy, or the tap is rusty/ has weird stuff in/on/around it. other than that I'm a tap or fridge guy.

usually only at hotels or schools....

as i said, my tap water is god's own urine. it just has that perfect, absolutely neutral taste. Toss some ice (frozen tap water of course) in with it, and you have the most perfect refreshing drink known to man.
