yes.
dont drink tap water in londen.
the prozac is about everywhere in the world (tap water wise) mainly because its entered the system, and no amount of "purifying" can get it all out, but it varies from area to area as you might imagine.
but its not the prozac i worry about (i take the stuff anyway, rather, i took it, i adapted to the stuff and went onto somthing stronger)

i live near DC and tap water is only good if you're a pencil. haha get it? cause its got lead in it? hahaha!
anyhow...
never study ecology or you wont touch the tap ever again.

Down here in Dallas, certain times of the year, the tap water smells and is horrible tasting, and I'm not sure why... But EVERYONE uses bottled water then... But I drink bottled water constantly, because of drugs and stuff in the water... There was a magazine article in a magazine that my mother gets saying that it's because of all the medicine flushed down toilets...

We just watched a documentary on this, last week and I will never drink bottled water again. I always have hated it and it's been proven that various bacteria's do come into contact with the bottled water. This is because the water is still and is in confinement for a long period of time. Whereas in tap water, the water is constantly moving therefore bacteria will not be able to set.

A variety of bottled water comes from tap water from other places. Fact.

I won't drink bottled water. If I go out, I just fill up a bottle with tap water and go on my merry way. My Chem teacher 2 years back mentioned something very similar to what Ammer mentioned (though we never saw the documentary). A lot of bottled water is also absent of the tiny bit of fluorine and other minerals that are useful to the body. Not only that, but it all tastes horrible. x_x

I drink filtered tap water. A vast majority of people here use filters, very few just drink from the taps (though tap water here is clean).

we have a brita filter thing too that we use. i dont mind the taste of the water from the tap, but some bottled water is nasty!

now... if you go to rural areas around here, they use well water, which means its cleaned with sulfer. you have not had nasty water until you have had that water. ugh. the camp i worked at got all their water from a well. you do you used to the taste eventually, but boy was i glad to get back to MY tap.

at one of the girl guide camp grounds i went to the water tasted like blood. yuck!

I grew up on well water, but it wasn't nasty like you experanced, we had the BEST water untill a handfull of years back they started blasting around our area and it changed the water tables and there is now way to much sulfer in the water to drink, we had to switch to 'city water' as we call it here in the country lol

Here in New Zealand, (maybe only Wellington) the tap water tastes better than bottled water, it is seriously the best tap water ever.

I don't know, because I have a brita water filter over my tap, so it tastes delicious ever since I added vanilla extract in the carbon filter.

... You added vanilla extract? Why?

some people add lemon/lime juice, some add vanilla extract. gives the water flavor. personally i'd rather add my crystal light powder, but what ever works. wouldn't the extract be incredibly sweet after a while though?

If tap water is supposedly "killing" us, then how do we know that bottled water is safe? It's not just water in those things, you know. And when I say tap, I mean American tap water. I can't speak for tap water in other countries, since I haven't drank any. Well, I have drank Chinese tap water. You can't just drink that stuff straight. You have to boil it, unless you've got a gastrointestinal system made of lead. However, I drink filtered tap water anyway. I can't stand the taste of chlorine.



Hard or soft water usually refers to the amount of iron and/or calcium in it. There's nothing wrong with consuming a certain amount of minerals in your water. There's plenty of minerals and other chemicals in bottled water. In fact, people tell me pure water (distilled) tastes rather disgusting.

And I'd really like to know where this Prozac in our water bit came from. Is that more "POE" paranoia? Is the government putting "communism" in our water? I'm not saying there aren't harmful chemicals in our water. I'm pretty sure they want to raise the "acceptable mercury content" of US drinking water, or something along those lines. It could be a different harmful chemical, but I know there's been issues with mercury that people just aren't hearing about.

Which is why you need to read the label. "Bottled" water is basically purified tap water. "Spring" water is purified spring water.



My dad's house has well water, and it's some of the best water ever. Basically, it's unpurified spring water. When I think about why it probably tastes so good, I want to stop drinking it, but that's beside the point.

I will drink tap water, but only if it's filtered and very cold. Actually, at my old house, I wouldn't drink tap water at all, the chlorine levels were insane, and the smell got to me too much.
