Tap. My water is city processed and tastes fine. I see no reason to buy bottled water.

Also I think that bottled water is a scam. After all Evian spelled backwards is "Naive". 8)

tap, its cheap and tastes better.

Bottled only when I lived off campus at Purdue.  And I have good reason:

My tap water from time to time.

Now that I have moved to Dayton, the city water is just fine. But I still buy bottles of water for when I'm not going to be near a sink.  It's not that big of a rip off.  24 16.9oz bottles are $3.99, and a gallon is $.79.  
Why can't all water be as good as Cincy water???

I buy gallon jugs of bottled water and drink that.  If I'm cooking or mixing water with kool-aid or anything else I use tap.  I have well water at my house but I prefer the bottled water for drinking

LOL! Nice one.

Yeah, tap water's fine enough here.

I usually drink tap water, but drink bottled when I'm on the go.  But lately I've been re-filling bottles with tap water and using that when I'm in class or driving.  I've been using the same bottles for about 4 weeks now. 
I also drink spring water.  We get it straight from th spring ourselves and put it in 5 gallon bottles. 

Cincinnati has the finest tap water the world over. I drink that.

I live in AZ and before that CA. Some of teh worst tasting tap water anywhere. Bottled for me.

Keep in mind that is were conferences were held to discuss Nazi germany and what to do with Jew refugees lol


Anyways i use to drink a gallon or more of tap a day.
Down here i drink tap still but filtered.


Also damn near every state i have been thru in the south has had shitty water.

Water is far to expensive here. But we sell a TON of it

best damn tap water here in Sothern MN.  I used to live in central Illinois and it always tasted somewhat funny, didn't stop me from drinking.  I guess its the difference between drinking from wells compared to treating dirty river water.

A side thought, its amazing to see clear standing water in a natural environment.  Most of us in the south, midwest, and western US are used to seeing dirty, polluted rivers...  I found it a big surprise when I went to the boundry waters near Ely, MN to find that the lakes there are clear.  You can clearly see down 20 feet into the water.  I'm used to boiling or using purifying tablets on lake and stream water from backpacking trips, but I was surprised when my brother drank it straight without getting ill.

Good ol' Cincinnati Tap. The only difference betweeen it and DaSani is that Tap water is required by law to be chlorinated, because we civil and environmental engineers care about your safety. Our water also is purified in one of the most advanced treatment plants in the world. It's a perk of being the Large Scale Testing Facility for UC's water quality team.

The worst tap water I've ever had was in Spain. I think they added bleach or maybe sourced it straight from the swimming pool. Whatever they did, it was probably to make people spend £4 on a 250ml bottle of water from the minibar.

The tapwater in my area has a faint sweetness to it. I like it. I've only had bottled water a few times before and I couldn't see what the point was.

Thanks for the tip on Spain. :P

It's amazing that bottled water is a multi-billion$ industry. If your tap water is good there should be no reason to buy it bottled, but so many people have conditioned themselves to do so.

I have been alot of places where the water tasted like pool water.(Chicopee, MA was all pool water)

It is because it is over chlorinated.
THey can't put bleach in water.

Flourine doesn't mess with the taste IMO

Also i have never had any good well water. It always tastes like sulfer or hard water.

I usually drink from 2l water bottles, as they're just really convenient to have whereever I go so that I'm always close to clean water.  I do drink from tap water about a quarter of the time as well, and then I use Brita filters to filter the water.  ;)

A local catholic school in St. Louis. Had a petition going around for Aquafina to name its source for their bottled water.  They finally gave in due to media pressures and stuff.

" The Missouri River "  Same place most of the Northwest part of St. Louis, and Missouri get their tap water. 

LOL I thought that was really funny.

Tap.  Don't feel like paying a buck for a bottle of water and the water here's just fine.

thats awesome

tap. if I drink bottled water it's the flavored kind.

Revived thread. Sorry, I had to...

I love tap water. I bottle it in my big 1L jug and drink it all the time. At school, they charge 1.60 for a bottle of water, but they have a drinking fountain (Super cold, mind you) right in the cafeteria, so I just bring my 1L bottle to school and fill it up in the morning and at lunch. Saves me a ton of money.

screw water drink beer, just kidding. i have a filter on my fridge so i drink water from there.

When it's available, bottled water.  When it's safe, tap.

Tap water usually contains too much minerals for daily use, even when "it tastes good". I drink mostly bottled water (Chaudefontaine) but alternate with tap water from time to time.

ZOMBIE THREAD

What?

He's calling this thread a "zombie thread" because it's an older thread (from last year) that has been revived by someone who made a new post for it. There's an unwritten rule that says that you can't post in topics that are X-months or X-years old. ;)

Not on this forum there isn't. ;)

Wasn't saying you couldn't revive old threads, just that this was a blast from the past.

I'm enjoying some Cincinnati tap as we speak.

Yet the way Leon responded (by commenting on it specifically rather than ignoring the fact it's an older thread) really does give the impression that there's such a rule. ;)
