I drink tap water because it's cheap. My tastes okay but it sometimes has a clorine taste or smell to it. I do sometimes buy bottled water but I tend to use it quickly and hate to have to store in the house in the gallon containers. I can't carry anything larger.

I drink filtered water at work. When I'm driving or out, I use a plastic cup with tap water.

Minnesota has the best water in the world. Right straight from the tap! Edie

I don't use bottled water - not necessary! Beautiful clear water we have!

I drink bottled water because it's portable. I got in the habit awhile back from bike riding and having a cat who HAD to tip over every glass he saw :D
I had to laugh at myself when George Carlin brought up how ridiculous it is though......... :D:D

I have a bottle that I refill from my own tap. Our water is cold and clean. Guess we are lucky. I do wash out the bottle with dish soap after each use then rinse well and dry. Never leave bottled water in a hot car and then drink it. Something leaches from the plastic when the water is hot. Heard that on a Dr. show recently. I have an ice cube tray that makes tiny round ice cubes and put those in the bottle first, then put into an insulated bottle carrier. Keeps things cold for hours.

I drink tap at home, but I either filter it, or leave it sit til the chlorine is gone. I like well water so much better than the city water I have!! I will drink bottled when traveling, I'm not a fan of drinking fountains!! Often, we fill up a bottle at home before we go!

interesting article on bottled water:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4889952_calc...led-water.html

we have a brita filtered picture, my husband uses. he will not drink from the tap at home.

i drink from the tap. I can't tell the difference between them.

the only time we buy bottled,and that would be by the gallon, is when we go camping...

i do reuse bottles a few times, i fill them half way with water, and freeze, and then add water to the frozen, to take with outside in the garden.

Kim in Michigan I like your idea- thanks :)
My kids keep telling me that those plastic bottles aren't good for us.
I keep forgetting to research it.

At home we drink tap. When we were in Oklahoma the water was so bad we drank bottled. The only time we drink bottled water is if we're on the road going some where.

We have well water fresh from the springs that runs underground. We tested it once and it rated better than than the town water.
