Do you drink bottled water?

[Johnboy60]

I don't drink bottled water because my city water taste good and city checks it all the time for problems.

Is Bottled Water Better Than Tap?

It started with Perrier. Somehow, a French company convinced people it's cool to buy bottled water. Today, Evian has surpassed Perrier in sales and now it's the chic French water of choice. Why? It costs about 5 bucks a gallon! Why do people pay so much for something they can get virtually free?

I drink bottled water only if I'm running doing stuff around and want something to drink besides soda. Bottled water is just more portable.

Boggles my mind that people pay more for water than gasoline - or beer. Also that the welfare slugs can buy it with food stamps.

Me too...crazy idea!

Also that the welfare slugs can buy it with food stamps

What a horribly mean thing to say!

 

[Rygel]

Personally, I don't.

Then again, the water that I just drank comes from around 120 arshins under my feet.

 

[Diane_Windsor]

Yes

Bottled water is handy and convienent-especially if you are travelling, going to a sporting event, etc. Unlike my water bottle I can easily throw out Ozarka's bottle after I have drunk the water. It is one less thing I have to worry about.

And taste-wise this Texan prefers Ozarka to my tap. It just tastes better. Speaking of tap-I don't know how Chicagoans stand theirs-

I have a faucet-mounted filter at home and refill several sports bottles of various sizes that I keep around - in the car, at school, in my various bags and backpacks.

Ditto, 2004 wife got a new fridge for Christmas, came with Ice & Water filter, been drinking lots of water now.

Just fill up a bunch of water bottles, throw em in the deep freezer, and now if we go somewhere, got Ice to keep the stuff cool, and cold water when it starts to thaw.

Nope.

I drink bottled water - Mount Franklin.

But when I'm at home, because the water here is icky, I boil tap water, then let it cool, then put it in the fridge and use that.

Since the well water here comes out of the faucet smelling like rotten eggs occasionally (and all the time for one particular faucet, figure that one out) yeah, we buy all the water we consume and cook with. The tap water is fine in town, but I refuse to drink water out of the ground anymore.

I dont like the taste of bleach so i use a water filter on tap.

As with a lot of polls, the right answer for me isn't listed.

I don't drink bottled water at home or work. While our tap water is just fine we also have a PUR filter in the frig at home and there is filtered water at work. Of course for the 6 months that I couldn't get down to Sears to get a new filter I just drank the tap water. I don't notice any difference except that the stuff coming out of the frig is colder than the tap and I like that. I love really cold water better than any other drink.

I will buy a bottle of water at the airport if I want a water bottle to take with me on the airplane. I will usually keep that same bottle for the entire business trip and refill it from the tap at the airport or more often in the hotel room.

However, some hotels have terrible tasting water. So on very rare occasions I will buy more.

If you drink from a water cooler at work does that count as drinking bottled water?

didnt think of that. The drinking water at my job is from a bottled water company and sicne its in 5 gallon bottles, I would say yes (although I originally voted no) - at home I drink water from the fridge - the water and ice dispenser is filtered thru an inline water filter (we are on well and only a few miles from the Delta here in CA so the water aint that great).

 

[revelations12_12]

I sometimes drink water from the filter container we keep in the fridge but I mostly drink bottled water. I am always out and about so it is a convenience thing for me.

 

[tanya88]

I drink it sometimes, not because I thinks its healthier or anything like that but because its more convienant. At home I drink water from the fridge.

 

[PastorMikeJ]

Sure do drink bottled water...flavored at that!! At least I get the amount of water that I am suppose to drink...

 

[praying]

Yes always.

Umm yes, it is water and in a bottle, thus it is bottled water.
