Where do you get yours? Poll coming.

A well, within what are now the city limits.

Which reminds me...I need to get that shit tested.

I just drink tap water, generally, unless I do get incredibly thirsty while i'm out.

Taps, exclusively.

Bottled water is a scam.

So is underwear.

From the tap. And then I use one of these (http://www.rudibacher.at/images/sodaclub.jpg) to carbonate it.

how very hydro-geek of you.

Edit: hrm. Adds bubbles, puts a zest in your drink, AND turns back time!

I can't stand carbonated water...it reminds me of not wanting to drink tap water in certain villages in Latin America, and having only carbonated water as an alternative. You can't drink that crap fast enough to quench your thirst...so I'd add a big of sugar (or salt) to try to get it to go flat faster. Ugh.

I get mine from tap, er.. I mean.. Dasani. (It's the only brand my school sells..)

But I really do like their grape and raspberry flavours.

Tap water, filtered so it doesn't taste like bleach.

You're nutty. It's like pretend soda. Or something clowns use as a punchline to physical gags...

I filter my tap water. But then I filmed a professional development class on water purification and found out that my filter was useless after 20 uses and that if I wanted to be effective I'd have to get one of those under the sink deallies.

Bottled water at work because that's whats available and someone else pays for it.

I absorb moisture from mud. :)

But in the winter months, I subsist on filtered tap water. *nod*

I'm not particularly paranoid about where I get my water from, although I have a tendency to drink bottled water out of habit.

(As for carbonated water, I find the 'baking soda' taste just leaves me thirstier.)

It certainly gives me ideas. :)

We get those 18L bottles of water and have a proper dispenser. The tap 'water' has a lower water content than piss and tastes worse. If it were feasible, I'd setup my shower to use bottled water too.

Where do you get yours? Poll coming.

From the combination of hrdrogen and oxygen to the ratio of 2 - 1.

how very hydro-geek of you.

Edit: hrm. Adds bubbles, puts a zest in your drink, AND turns back time!They're very popular here. Most people here have always drunk carbonated mineral water which usually comes in glass bottles. Since we have really strict guidelines for tap water purity some smart guy invented these carbonator thingies a few years ago and people use them a lot because it's cheaper, you don't have to lug the heavy bottles around, and in some cases tap water is actually more hygienic than mineral water.

You're nutty. It's like pretend soda.How exactly do you think the soda water companies carbonate their water?

Ugh, I'm the exact opposite. Plain water doesn't quench my thirst at all, it's just flat and stupid and blech. I have to drink a LOT more to even have the feeling I've been drinking anything (and I already drink a lot to begin with) and that's really hard to do because it tastes so stale and... ugh.

.

I know exactly how they do it, I've had shitty jobs, I've changed my share of tanks. But yours misses the vital step of adding a flavor.

Which makes you a super freak.

The kind you don't take home to Mom-ma.


Ahh, your not going to get that, but it's funny, trust me...(well, to me...)

It generally falls from the sky. Water is one of Wales main assets (and exports). We'll be the last against the wall when the resources revolution comes.:)

Those Germans never understand anything..

Tap, bottled, well, other it doesn't matter I've drank it all. I will drink any water so long as it doesn't kill me.

Also, if I wanted to, I totally could. (http://msnbcmedia3.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/050819/050819_soda_club.widec.jpg)

But since this thread is about water...

For some peculiar reason I don't like the taste of non-running water. So I only drink directly from the tap..

Mostly tap.

Tap, usually unfiltered or bottled when I go to school since I don't trust water fountains...especially at a high school.

Tap. Very often boiled and flavoured with milk added.

That would be tea, by the way.

Mostly tap, though since I moved to an earthquake zone I've started stockpiling bottled water. I currently have about 200 litres.

So is underwear.

I disagree, it keeps my bits from flopping around. If I tried to accomplish the same thing by wearing tight pants, my sexuality would be constantly questioned.

I get mine from the tap which is the same as if you buy bottled water. Thats just tap water with a fancy label.

There was a test done a program once and people coulndnt tell the difference between water purified from a mans urine and bottled water.

I use tap water, I think the brand name is Dasani. And if I remember correctly it's fortified with bromates as well. :) And don't come back you filthy-coca-cola-capitalist-pig-scum

Seriously, just tap water. It tastes quite nice in the West Midlands too. Ocaassionally I'll buy a bottle of water as the plastic bottles, believe it or not, make ideal containers for me to lug around my tap water.

The only time I've ever brought large amounts of bottled water consistently was when I was in a country where you could get giardia or amoebic dysentery if you drank unboiled tap water. And then we were advised to buy carbonated bottled water so we could tell if the bottle had been tampered with or not when we first opened the bottle.

Oh... and I can only shake my head at Posi.

Out of the tap straight from the Harz Mountains.

I can't believe even four people like John Travolta. Seriously ...

Why the hell didn't you make the poll public?!

So I only drink directly from the tap..I also drink tap water, but not directly from the tap, I use a glass. :p

Tap. Very often boiled and flavoured with milk added.

That would be tea, by the way.... I strain my hot water through some dried/roasted leaves before adding the milk...

I get my water from Bobby Boucher.

... I strain my hot water through some dried/roasted leaves before adding the milk...I don't add milk if they were only dried.

I get my water from Bobby Boucher.I heard he does good work. However, I was informed by one Captain Insane-o that he is a virgin. Do you happen to know if that is the case?

Usually bottled.

I used to drink tap water, but then I moved from England to Brazil. I now drink mineral water (from 20L containers that sit on a cooler to make it really refreshing). Do these count as bottles?

Why the hell didn't you make the poll public?!

Argh, my mistake ...
