    Home tap water, better than most bottled water I get abroad. Abroad I drink loads of bottled waters but the price in the states is obscene. Ten times the cost elsewhere.

    Tap water. It's fine where I am and the bottled stuff is awful for the environment when you consider all the extra packaging and transport. There's a water cooler outside my office but I go down to the canteen to get tap water if I want a drink.

    When I lived in a small town in Utah, the tap water came straight from a rocky mountain aquifer, and was delicious. Houston water is a much different story. I have a filter that runs through my refrigerator, which is where I get all my drinking water at home. The tap water here doesn't taste bad necessarily, just...off. Occasionally I buy bottled for convenience and refill them.

    At home, I have a water filtration system, no direct tap water. I have well water where I live. The taste is way off. Teh filter is a necessity. I drink alot of bottled water away from the home. I usually stay away from Tap.

    Every time I think of bottled water, I think of this:

    Be warned: Some foul language here. And forget the first 3 minutes about milk.

    That's Lewis Black's schtick - he's always been like that.

    Btw, henkie, that was a nice summary of tap water around the world, from a fellow countryman's point of view. :)

    Tap water through a Brita filter system. No need to boil it but I might start one day when I've got nothing but time on my hands.

    Er, pot kettle. Lenny Henry and Billy Connolly are two British comedians that spring immediately to mind as being annoyingly shouty.

    I never said there was anything bad about it. Bill Hicks and George Carlin were two of my favourites, and hey were very angry and shouty. It just seems more of a trend with Americans.

    I drink nothing but pure unadulterated tea. Well I add milk and sugar. It comes direct from the udder of the lesser spotted tea-cow.

    Bottled water, but I refill my water bottles with tap water. I would drink more tap water, but I'm very rarely home.
