TAP.

Evian tastes gross to me, like some French guy took a dump in it.... I chuckle when I see someone insists on drinking it or Fiji Artesian water.

I agree!


Have you guys heard of Voss water?  Talk about a marketing gimmick!  They put it in glass bottles so it appears even more fancy.

i'd like to say i only drink tap water, but if it's cheap i've been known to buy some bottled water. i'm not a fan tho-- i think it's a bit of a scam. what's so bad with regular water, especially since we have some of the cleanest water in the world here in usa.

i grab sips from water fountains like it's my job. i have some compulsive waterfountain drinking disorder where i'll stop everything i'm doing (late to class, talking to friends, etc) just to stop and take a sip.

oh! fun fact: you know how amusement parks always rip you on the food/drink prices (i'm talking $3+ for a bottled water)? you can ask for ice water (tap) completely free and fill up as much as you like! i never spend a dime on drinks at a themepark, just a fortune on the tickets  @c3

Somehow big business has confinced consumers that bottled water is better for them. I wish I could see at least one unbiased study that supports this. Anyone know of one? I have seen many that support just the opposite.

In Australia, in 1998, Sydneys biggest drinking water resevoir, The Warragamba Dam,located 50 miles due west of downtown was contaimenated with the microscopic pathogens cryptosporidium and giardia. These bugs can give you mean diarreah,stomach pains and make you very sick.

People were instructed that if they drank tap water to boil it. However the fallout from this event means you will not find very many people in Sydney that are game to drink the tap water. Most people have a drinking water delivery service or a purification filter.

I drink bottled water myself. Snowy Mountains Organic Spring Water.

Gotta drink bottled or at least filtered water here, especially when the local reservoir turns over!

I drink tap water that I filter.....through coffee grounds!
I actually do drink tap water but we have a well that we have tested once a year. The state of Wisconsin will send out a test kit and for about $25 test it for everything.

Bottled!  :D



The woman in the photo is Lucrecia Dasani, the heiress of the Dasani family fortune. I googled her (don't I wish) and the word on the web is that the water in the bottles is actually her bath water.


Okay, okay I made it up.....all of it. I can't tell you how ashamed I am right now. I think I'll have a Dasani. Man, that's water!

Tap only. Why help pay the billion dollar corporations to brainwash society?

Bottled water is bad for the environment. How much oil is used to produce all those plastic bottles. Where are they going to bury all those billions of bottles that will not degrade for thousands of years. How much fuel is used to transport those bottles? Almost every municipal water supple is perfectly safe, despite the "scandal" in the news. Don't buy into the hype.


I totally agree with you on this one.  That's why we have a Brita pitcher at the house, and we refill our water bottles with it.

Yep..since then I have only ever had bottled water - we do try and buy big 10ltr jugs tho.

Tap water here tastes like total shite! AND I'm sorry Jdoggy but when I was in Ohio at the in laws house the water even smelt bad! I didn't even brush my teeth with tap water.

However, we are heavy on re-cycling in our house hold.
