Tap water.

Portland, Oregon. Some of the best.

New York. Drink it unfiltered every day. Oh well.

 

[Listi]

Yes, although the water around me seems very chlorinated. I'd get a Brita if I had room in my fridge, but I have a bunch of roommates so there isn't really room.

No, there are chemicals in the water supply from pharmaceuticals, waste, and natural gas extraction areas (See film Gasland). It also has added fluoride. I might use tap when I get a reverse osmosis system.

I might use ocean water to get more in touch with the dolphin side of me.

 

[cptjeff]

Yup. The tap at home in NC tastes better then the stuff up here in upstate NY, but no real problems with either.

I don't waste money buying the exact same stuff for $1.50 a bottle.

 

[jfclarky]

Phoenix water tastes horrible but NYC water is some of the best.

 

[KitAkira]

My tap water is better than your tap water.

The fluoride kept me cavity free all my life. Dentists around here say they get more business since the bottled water/cooler water phase but not from my generation.

Cleaning teeth and using fluoride from tooth paste should be enough. I don't see how drinking fluoride is good or beneficial.

Especially since too much fluoride is actually very bad for teeth (among other things). But no I do not drink tap water. I don't have a big issue drinking it, but I find it doesn't taste very good 99% of the time, plus bottled water is cheap as **** (I pay like 30 cents a bottle or less), so I really have no reason to drink tap water ever.

General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: [very nervous] Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen... tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?
General Jack D. Ripper: [somewhat embarassed] Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No.
General Jack D. Ripper: But I... I do deny them my essence.

I do drink tap water but only in tea, so I boil it first. The tap water here has a visible amount of scale which probably doesn't disappear from boiling the water but I try to confide in thinking it's less bad for me. For me it's not much of a choice though, as I honestly can't afford to live on bottled water.
