3. I’ve been drinking Poland Spring and Deer Park only if I can’t get Poland Spring. When I go South I like to get Zephyrhills which they didn’t mention. Got sick off Deer Park once so I’m reluctant to get it. Commercial Tap water is swill. Best water comes from my artesian well. Tested it and nothing but a little extra calcium.

6. I drink municipal tap water from Lake Michigan that’s fortified with fluoride and other contaminants at 250 ppm, then purify it via reverse osmosis to 0 ppm, then mineralize it to 40 to 50 ppm. Ice included. Fill up a stainless steel cup several times a day, especially in the summer. Also stay regular with 16oz of homebrew kombucha and 16oz of coffee per day.

7. We mostly drink tap water. Our water is treated with Ozone and about 25 yrs ago we got all new water lines.
   When I buy bottled it’s usually Poland Spring, which I’ve been to. Lovely resort with the original spot and factory just behind it.

9. I prefer my bottled water to contain some hops and barley.

10. The tap water in Eastern Washington and Spokane area comes from the underground Rathdrum prairie aquifer and is actually pretty good. I’ve been drinking it all my 70 years and have never had a problem with it. And I keep ice cold tap water in my fridge all the time to drink. I don’t drink coffee very often and I drink little if any soda pop anymore. I’m not a very big beer or wine fan either.

11. And I drink at least a gallon of 2% milk every week.

12. Well water with bottled as a back-up during power outages.

16. We use a Berky to filter our well water. I use a few Nalgene bottles filled at home while on the road.

17. The best water I ever had was at a off grid hunting cabin in Michigan’s UP from a shallow sandpoint well with a handpump next to the kitchens sink. Was always ice cold and no mineral taste.

18. I generally drink tap from my city wells.
    I’ve lived this long (70+y.o.), fairly healthy, no cancers, tumors, extra growths, etc.

21. I drink tap water flavored with a squirt of Mio orange tangerine flavor.
    I quit Gatorade when they dropped from 32 oz to 28 oz bottles.
    The bastards also raised the price.

    BTW, Industrial Ozone generators are pretty cool.
    They basically create lightning to generate O3.
    Relatively simple process with a giant fucking transformer involved.

22. Tap water run through a filtration system. Bottle water exposes you micro plastics which kills testosterone. Tap water has all kinds of poison. Including Fluoride which they are now starting to find kills guess what? Testosterone. Ever wonder why there’s so many F’ed up men. Yes I’m wearing my tin foil hat today.

23. Well water, but I don’t drink a lot of water. I drink a lot of brewed, unsweetened iced tea during the day and have since my teens…I have to believe the antioxidants have kept me quite healthy over the past 40 years.

    Which is ironic, since that is how municipal tap water is treated . Or sodium hypochlorite

25. LOL no.

26. I have a very nice, high tech filter in my fridge so technically…YES. Even as an adult, I still enjoy delish tasting water coming out of the garden hose. 🙂

27. @Richard Cranium, I’ve been thinking of getting a Berkey; some friends have one and the water tastes so good, as in no taste; very fresh in comparison to our tap water. I have a Brita but I don’t think it filters out enough junk.

28. well water and spring water, gravity fed to a cistern in the basement

29. Well water with a filter. I swear well water without fluoride is why I have no cavities. House well, milk house//barn well an a natural spring that runs even in the dead of winter..

30. I gotta have canned sparkling flavored water – preferably Le Croix. Bottled it has to be Crystal Geyser. Too many dead bodies end up in Folsom Lake too gross to drink. They say you’re supposed to have 100 ounces of water a day. I’ve only done that once and that was for colonoscopy prep. I almost wretched forcing those last two glasses down. But I can knock back a six pack of beer like The Fox on The Man Show.

31. I drink piss.
    LOTs of piss.

    Only man-piss, though … girl-piss’ll make you hairy …

    and gargle jizz to “cleanse the palate” between meat faucets

32. Yes, but through the Miracle of Electricity & Refrigeration I turn that water into a solid & float those solids in glass of Bourbon.

33. I have a reverse osmosis system. Tap water tastes salty to me.

34. ” Too many dead bodies end up in Folsom Lake”

    Due to the high water level the lake is filthy with Rattle Snakes this year. Swimming and floating on debris.

35. Hell Kcir, since you are Canadian can’t you just go outside and chip some ice off your car windshield?

36. Chalupa – I drink a sparkling water every night before bed. Saw a video on YT from a doctor talking about the benefits of co2 in the body. It’s the only form of water I buy, but since I started drinking it I seem to sleep better now.

37. I have a countertop reverse osmosis filter. It’s slow, but the water’s clean.

38. LBS,

    Too cold for Cars up here.
    I crack it off the SnowMoBile.

    Cheers.

39. Is it true that bottled water marked “PWS” stands for Public Water Source?

    Just axin – got nuthin to do with DeSantis or Trump.

40. Brad – I’ll take my chances with the rivers. At least the rattlers can’t strike far when they’re on the water, and they stay on the surface – I hope.

    CJ – sounds good to me. Getting to be 50 cents for a can even in bulk. My grandpa wouldn’t shut up about a dollar for a loaf of bread. He’d really squawk about 50 cent water.
