Poll: do you drink from the tap?

[dthvirus]

I'd rather drink government regulated water than shady stuff shipped from overseas in plastic bottles. Some people think that tap water is dirty, but they don't realize that the government has to make sure that water is clean for its population or else they risk a major catastrophe.

I've got a water filter in the fridge. I bought it because it was on sale and only two dollars more then a water jug. I like my water ice cold when i drink it and it was cheap so...

I do drink out of the tap though, and use tap water instead of the filter water jug.

As well if things get.. sweaty... nothing is better then dunking your head under the tub faucet and drinking the water as it cools you off.

I have a filter on my faucet, and I fill up a water container with a filter on it, with said filtered water.

Even after that I put it in the fridge and I have to wait like 3 hours before I can even think of drinking it (I can't drink warm water, it's foul, I need my water nice and cold).

Drink water? Like... water where the only flavouring was taken from soil and not... like... perfected by human hands? Naa, srew that. Water tastes like chalk and the inside of my mouth. I prefer real drinks thanyouverymuch.

Isn't saying "perfected by human hands," an oxymoron? And I don't see how water isn't a real drink, since it's the main ingredient in pretty much everything.

On topic, I do. We have hardwater from a well, and I think it tastes better than bottled.

 

[wasalp]

At mum's, yes.

At dad's...no way in hell.

That water is wrong. It's just wrong.

oddly enough...its the same for me BUT with good reason you see my dad lives in the country where we only have access to water from a well

 

[Zhukov]

Sure. Around here it's normal. No point in spending money on the same water in a bottle.

Although I realise that in some parts of the world it's not a smart thing to do.

 

[Cazza]

Yeah it's fine here. Not the best but it will do.

 

[micky]

Yes, but don't do it in Mexico! Hilarity ensues when you do.

Never bothered me any while I was there.

Bottled water isn't anything special, and most of the time it simply bottled tap water anyway.

On that note I have well water, glorious crisp refreshing well water.

i wish i had well water, tasty.

You gotta live in the sticks to get it. I also have to have my own pump because there isn't enough water pressure to bring the water up to the top of the ridge. It's worth it through.

Most importantly I am not so far into the sticks that I can't get a great high speed fiber connection.

 

[Nalgas D. Lemur]

yea, builds my system's immunity to foreign material, i dont drink water often though, i usually just stick with milk.

mm i love me some milk, have you ever had unpasteurized milk?

I have, fresh from the cow down the street. In a foreign country. Now that was a fun 36 hours of being violently ill that I've mostly blocked out of my memory since...

I drink plenty of tap water, but generally through a filter. Ours is perfectly healthy according to all the usual water quality tests, but it just tastes slightly off to me (although it doesn't bother anyone else in my house), which tends to discourage me from drinking as much as I should, so...filter it is.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I live in Arizona, and our water is pumped underground from Colorado or some shit, so HELL NO.

Yeah, you creepers are drinking our water. How you like them apples? Lol.

OT: Constantly. I refuse to drink bottled water because it creates so much waste and is simply unnecessary. I have my refillable waterbottle that I keep by my bed, and I drink roughly 2 liters a day.

 

[Embz]

My parents always tell me not to, but I still do XD

 

[KaiRai]

Yeah I don't see why not. My water is quite nice

I love milk though.

 

[Broady Brio]

Not really. I used to, now they've added a water softener to it so all but one will give me more chance of heart disease. (Y)

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Well seeing as we have the third cleanest tap water in the world (it has actually been proven to be healthier then bottled water) yes, yes I do.

 

[ESCAPIST DELETE THIS ACCOUNT]

Yeah but it tastes differnt depending on where you live beacuse you get differnt amounts of Calcium Carbonate in the water

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Yep. In fact I never go to sleep without a pint of water on the bedside table - although that's really there to help with hangovers. Nothing wrong with the tap water around here.

Yea, i really am not to picky with my milk, prefer %1 as of late, but any works for me

 

[thom_cat_]

My old house we drank rainwater from our tanks, which went to the tap. So yes.
And this one I drink from the tap, and yes, sometimes straight from it. I cbfed with glasses.
