 I drink mine, when I drink water, which isn't very often.  Maybe I need to drink it a little bit more.  It's clean and it doesn't have any strange odors. :thumbsup:

Tap water in America is safe, period. People are just too prissy these days. Get some dirt and germs up in ya, they just strengthen the immune system.

HAHA yeah like he said..actually I remember wayyy back when during the summer playing outside and drinking from *shock* the hose out side *gasp* and I am here to talk about with with 10 fingers and 10 toes!! I do have a funny twitch - but I digress...

I wish the tap water tasted better as I am tired of buying filters and water bottles..I may try a squirt of lemon juice ya - that's the ticket!

Interesting point about the plastic bottles.  I actually do drink bottled water because I do think it tastes better than tap water.  There isn't really anything WRONG with my tap water and it isn't cloudy, I just like bottled water.   :confused1:

I DO NOT understand WHY anyone would drink bottled wated on a regular basis.
It is just filtered water in a plastic bottle. WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY A WATER FILTER?? A heck of a lot cheaper. The water will be fresher and more readily available. Also some of the chemicals in the plstic bottle can seep into the water. Think of ALL the plastic bottles you would keep out of the landfills.

not at all! our tap water runs clear but it always has a slight smell of the lake we live by. we have a water filter on the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and even the bathtub and shower but we still do not drink it.

Where I live, the tap water is clear and good quality. However, I still use a filter, just in case.

I have no problem with drinking my tap water - unfiltered - tastes good; looks good.  I do put it in a plastic bottle and store it in the fridge to get cold water.  If it started smelling or tasting funny or looked discolored, I wouldn't drink it.

Not sure what the whoha is about plastic bottles -- it is takes millions of years for the plastic to break down, I find it hard to believe that it will leak bad stuff into my tap water in the couple of hours that it sits in the bottle.

Yes, bottled water is more at risk, with all the chemicals from plastic ect. Tap water goes through an entire cleaning process and is regulated by the city, bottled water, who knows who is watching them. not as safe as you would like to think, plus it does terrible things to our environment, plastic takes many many years to disenagrate, and on top of that they charge you for the bottle, just goofy to buy them bottles, but not many have figured this out yet.

Pretty much the only water I drink is from the tap.
