Do you only drink specific water?

[WoIIie]

Believe it or not, water apparently varies in taste to some people.

Please explain if you choose Option A.

I only drink bottled water. (Specific Brand)

I drink whatever water is available. (Mainly tap)

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Except for R.O. or D.I. water, bottled water is a crock of sh*t. The reason I excuse R.O. and D.I. water is because some people have health issues and need to drink much purer water, which Evian/Fiji/Dasani et al. are not.

Bottled water contains Bisphenyl-A, and Phthalates, link in varying amounts. The water sits in the bottles on the shelves at the store, slowly soaking up the molecules.

Bottles made from recycled plastics are also dangerous, because the recycling process is a nasty industrial mechanism. The heat from recycling can drive the diels-alder reaction, which results in highly, HIGHLY toxic molecules like dioxanes.

The safest, AND most economic way to get your water is to put tap water through a Big Berkey Water purifier. It's so effective, it's not classified as a water filter, it's a water purifier.

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Correction, the diels alder reaction results in *dioxin *, not dioxane.

[WoIIie]

I was wondering when you were going to fix that mistake, Mr. Scientist!

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Sorry, forgot to carry the 1 :D

[FlightAuror2]

Bottled water basically is tap water, except in most cases it's essentially filtered, and some companies do add vitamins and minerals, which I think alters the taste between various brands. Personally, I prefer Dasani over the other brands of bottled water. But given the choice, I just want whatever is coldest...

[cun7n1nja]

Lol, I'm not picky about it. We buy a case of bottled water every once in a while and refill some of them from the tap. But mostly I'm perfectly fine with tap water, though I suppose it really depends on where you live, whether it's decent to drink. My tap water comes from a well that we share with another property near us. Water from the outside faucets comes from the same place, but it looks dirty because it isn't filtered like the water that goes to our tap is. I don't mind the mineral taste because it's pretty subtle, and I grew up with well water at my grandma's house as well. So it's not nearly as weird tasting to me as it probably is for others who aren't so accustomed to it, due to living in cities or whatever. 'Country' water tastes a little different from 'town' water, haha, but I grew up drinking both, so it's whatever.

[mormollio]

I don't drink I specific brand, but I prefer bottled water to tap. There's an obvious difference between the two. Bottled water has all those minerals and stuff added so there's more of a flavor. I hate when people say we're stupid for buying bottled water because it's all the same, it's not all the same. >.>

[WoIIie]

I see a clear divide and I'm glad I asked this question. :P

There will be war! The bottled water people vs the ITS JUST WATER people

[mormollio]

and who's side are you on >:o? *pulls out blunt object*

[WoIIie]

*pulls out whiffle bat*

I'm all about the water that is available. Problem? HMMMM?

[mormollio]

Yah man I think we got a problem, you wanna go? D<

[WoIIie]

*sees age* Oh crap I'm outta here.

[mormollio]

that's what I thought, don't let me catch you round here again D< *throws water bottle at your head*

[WoIIie]

>_<''

[mormollio]

*feels bad now* srry ._. *pats head and hands you water bottle* It's delicious

[WoIIie]

Aww, why thank you. Bottle lover.

[IHateMeganFox]

Well I prefer Aquafina but my grandpa won't allow me to have it so I drink what they have which is in this big blue jug. Like one of those jugs on those white things that have two spouts one for hot water one for cold. I drink two liters of water a day as of lately so I drink whatever is available even though it doesn't taste as good as Aquafina.

[ElijahCynicism]

I drink tap water in the town I go college in and have much family in, but in my hometown I avoid that sh*t like the plague. As for bottled water, I drink Avian or a few of the local extremely cheap brands, won't touch Riverrock.

I once bought a bottle of water for £13. Full glass bottle, everything. I swear, it was f***ing worth it. Water for the gods.

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Avian? Not familiar with that name. Did you mean Evian?

[ElijahCynicism]

Nah, Avian, here's a picture of it with Tony Blaire; link

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Weird. That "Avian" logo is a rip off of the "evian" logo.

[ElijahCynicism]

LOL. I don't think its a rip off. Its common for companies to rebrand themselves in different countries, its probably the same company

[SheepdogAmongUs]

That's probably true; Evian might have rebranded themselves once they figured out that "Evian" is "Naive" backwards LOL :D

[ElijahCynicism]

LOL, yeah, I just found that out after looking it up. Doesn't seem to be ANY RECORD of Avian water on the internet, though, apart from on that picture. LOL.

[drummerdude25]

FIJI water is the best... There are certain bottled brands that I really don't like, and it sounds funny, but some just go down smoother than others, because (I think it's Dasani)... I always start choking/coughing on it, lol.

Doesn't taste as good either, idk, but yeah I mainly just go with FIJI.

[ThenThereWas1]

I'll really drink any water. But there is certain water I prefer. Like at work we have two water fountains and one of them as colder water than the other so I always go to that one hah I also prefer the water from my fridge over the water from the sink. But like I said, I'd drink any water.

[cjwright79]

For a couple years I was very particular about what I drunk (Gerolsteiner was my favorite) but now I'm back to regular tap water. I fill a glass bottle and put it on the windowsill which keeps it cool, and letting it sit means the chlorine evaporates.

[jad125]

I drink my well water. I do not like to drink public water becuase it has flouride in it, whcih causes an increse in bone cancer. I don't want to drink the water the government poisons.

[WoIIie]

Wow, very interesting thought process.

[jad125]

It's actually true flouride increases bone cancer.

[SheepdogAmongUs]

I'm not just saying this, but EVERYTHING (in the world of chemical and physical terms) causes cancer. It just depends on the concentration and exposure. The computer monitor that you're staring at? It's bombarding you with radiation. The air you're breathing? Contains Radon, which is *the single highest contributor to the majority of people's exposure to ionizing radiation* (the kind that causes cancer).

[slipslender]

i drink filtered, aquafina, smartwater, or FIJI <---- the best :D

dasani sucks ass.

[cjwright79]

Dasini is just regular tap water that's put through a certain process. Not particularly good, you're right. Better if it comes from a natural spring.

[WoIIie]

Dasani sucks? LMAO. It's water!

[slipslender]

it tastes terrible... I am rather particular about my dihydrogen monoxide... :p

[WoIIie]

Hmmm I don't see your vote on A :O

[slipslender]

i forgot... *votes* :D

[drummerdude25]

+1 for FIJI water.

[slipslender]

:)

[brunettebelle]

I don't drink a specific brand but I prefer certain bottled water brands over others such as Figi to Rite Aid's brand of spring water.

[WoIIie]

So, you're into bottled water basically.

[brunettebelle]

I used to like tap when I was little but now it makes me feel gross when I drink it, if I were to drink it I would need that water purifier to clean it out.

[tokioangel95]

I always carry around a bobble bottle which filters water...because where I live the water is hard. With the bobble bottle all I have to do is fill it with tap water and then it filters whilst I drink so I don't have to buy bottled water.

[Blaxican619]

Nope. Water is water. Although some does have a certain mineraly taste I like.

[WoIIie]

This is pretty much my opinion as well.

[Kladdpapper]

I drink any kind of water as long as it's clean, but water do vary in taste, just from town to town it can vary :3

[icarainbow2]

I'll drink any water, bottled or tap. I'm not a fan of some bubblers though.

[WoIIie]

Bubblers? Like selzter?

[icarainbow2]

No, like a drinking fountain or whatever you people call it.

[thunder91]

I just can't drink dasani bottled water. That tastes nasty.

[knowmeyourself]

Only bottled water that's filled from the Oasis here in Egypt :)

[Whipporwill]

Ahh, and I drink my water from a sippy cup!

[Lupianwolf]

I drink mainly tap water

people who just drink bottled water are annoying

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Most of them are, but, like I said in my post, some of those people actually have to drink bottled DI or RO water for medical reasons. For example, people who get kidney stones have to keep their mineral intake low, so they have to drink De Ionized water.

[Lupianwolf]

oh ok,

I still know loads of people who drink bottled just for the sake of it

[ixi10]

i only drink bottled water -- deer park

the other ones taste funny

[SweetApathy]

I really like Nestle Pure Life, but it's not often I drink it.

[iveth]

i only drink some bottle waters I am really picky when it comes to drinking water.

[Corrupt_Others]

I only drink bottled water, not a specific brand, but definitely not tap!

i think it tastes "cleaner" or it may be all in my head :P

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Bottled water can definitely taste cleaner than tap, depending on your city and it's municipal water program, but it's what you CAN'T taste that should worry you.

[Moonishere]

Tap Water.

I only drink bottled water, when I am outside, and I need to drink water.

[FierceMegan]

A: I only drink bottled water. (Specific Brand) - I picked that because I don't drink tap water.

[stevo2]

Tap water at home, bottled at work. Mostly Aquafina.

[MrScorpio]

Nope, but most of the time I drink filtered tap water. If I buy bottled tap water a lot of times it's zepherhills but I will buy other kinds if I need it for a hurricane or something.

[vishna]

Im all about that tap.

[The__Joker]

water is only for washing. alcohool please !

[SheepdogAmongUs]

Water? Oh, I never touch the stuff. Fish f*ck in it.

[MaxAsian9]

yes I only drink coke

[Ezmotts]

I drink tap water.
