I think I drink purified. It's from our refrigerator that has a filter. Sometimes bottled, but I'm not askeered to drink water from the tap either.

I have a PUR filter on my tap........so it doesn't taste like I'm drinking pool water.....

You forgot the "well" option for us current/former country pholk! The best water I ever tasted hands down was my grandparents'......their water came outta the tap ice cold and just perfect.....

I did for get the "Well" option, didn't I? Damn. There probably should be a "I don't give a damn" option too. oh well.

Actually really the best water I've ever tasted comes directly out of the ground and not filtered.....Ranger Springs in the Sky Lakes Wilderness. The head waters of the middle fork of the Rogue River.....mmmmmmmmm!!

Not all well water is good. My apartment has well water that is just awful! Not even a PUR filter can make it good. It etches my glasses and I need to use limescale remover to wash them. I tried lobbying my landlord to get a whole-house filtration system (it lengthens the life of water-using appliances too) but no dice.

I vote in them often enough, I just got so stoked that I was actually scooping Mal on a poll that I wanted to post it asap.

Yikes! Yeah...this is true. I've had some pretty nasty well water too.....there's was quite exceptional! My parents' has a lot of iron and sulfur in theirs so it smells like rotten eggs. They get the bottled water by the 5 gallon for drinking....

We're pretty lucky here, the tap water tastes good.....at least it does to me. I'm not a water snob.....

Bottled---and the taste varies from brand to brand.

You forgot two options.

Purified - From the water store

D - All of the above

I still don't understand why people pay money for water unless they live in a place where the water supply is knowingly contaminated... Back when I was a boy after I walked both ways uphill to school and back I always had a nice refreshing glass of tap water and I turned out just fine!

Ditto! I see what the rust does to the tubs, sinks, etc.. That is not going in my body! I don't want to end up like the tin man!

I know - there have been other kind souls who have pointed out my inability to list all of the options.
