u ppl knew the shit that was in all of the water now they would be pretty freaked out, some places are acctually experianceing such drastic changes as the sex of certain fish are being altered so that every individual is male when they are hatched

I drink tap water.

I saw that picture posted on a forum a week or so ago.

Tap water is better for the environment which is why I drink it. I'm trying to counteract the damage my parents are doing. They come home with 5 cases of water a week.

Well you said you filter your shit.

No doubt, tap water is better for the environment (and your wallet). But this is one of those blanket statements that just doesn't work everywhere.

In some places tap water is either too nasty to drink enough of it to stay hydrated, or it's downright unsafe. See: China. I have a souvenir bottle of water from there. You know what's listed in the ingredients after filtering? Strontium. And it's a non-zero value. You can't boil out heavy metals either, so imported bottled water wins.

Tap for me...at least around here...the water is fine and I think bottled water is overrated.

Now when out of the country that's a different story and probably even parts of this country if it's well water. Well water around here seems fine too.

Despite a news piece I just read proclaiming Fort Worth's water supply as one of the cleanest we constantly get notices from the city that the tap water is not safe to drink on a continual basis. We also live next to the most polluted lake and section of river in Texas.
Still won't buy bottled water though. We have filtered fridge water and a PUR filter on the tap.

What I really hate about it is there is no discount on our water bill! Inferior products should command lower prices, lol.
