Do you drink water out of a tap?

[Matt]

Just had a thought ^^ How many people here drink water straight out of a tap without filtering it or purchasing bottled water etc.

I do, but only in my local area. If I go interstate or to a different country I always buy bottled water.

Why wouldn't I drink water out of tap?
I mean, my mother cooks with it, and stuff, so I guess its drinkable? ;o

[Matt]

Well that's the thing. When you are cooking with it you are killing the bacteria. (as long as it is boiled) but alot of water that comes from the dams to your tap has so much pollution, bacteria, chlorine and other nasties which is not getting filtered properly. Or so that is what the bottled water companies make you believe lol

Yeah i drink water out of my tap. It tastes cooler. And i hate warm water too =)

[Matt]

How does it taste cooler straight out of your tap?

[Dreamiyi]

Well the water.. Hmm the taste is better. I live in SG so maybe the water may taste different? Haha.

Cooler meaning like , its colder. Lol sorry for bad english ><.

[Matt]

yeah I understood your English fine I was just wondering how the water feels cooler straight from the tap since my recognition of water from a tap is warm ^^

I like chilled water too which is why I put my water through a filter and then into a bottle in the fridge.

When its raining , you should try out water in SG. It's dam cool =D

[itsgreg_x]

Well, I must say that I like water with a taste, like apple or stuff ;o

but water out of tap is still cool, almost cold ;D

[morshu]

Of course I do. Only at some, ahem "filthy" countries(sorry) like African countries I use to buy bottled water just to be sure it's healthy.
