If so, why?


Stop giving money to companies who just siphon regular tap water, put it through a filter and then bottle it. This legitimately makes 0 sense to purchase when you can do the same thing at home.

Yes what I love when I drink water is the taste of plastic. Such yummy bottles that will pollute the ocean and your local wildlife reserves.

Not an option. Groundwater here is full of years of farming chemical runoff. It's not gonna be drinkable.

I personally don't. I have a Brita filter and that does the job for me. If Brita filters didn't exist and it was only tap water, I would probably buy bottled water

Yea. The water here in Las Vegas is.. gross to say the least. So much sediment in it that I have to scrub the toilet every 3 days to remove the buildup.

No way I'm drinking that water unless desperate.

Yeah we do. I have seen videos of water technicians showing the quality of the water we drink. Buying bottled water is good for your health, it is safer than tap water. However, it would be better if everyone had a water man who delivered water in glass containers as opposed to plastic like they used to do with milk back in the day.

Unless you have egregiously shit water this is not true. Tap water is usually held to higher standards than bottled water and, at the very least, is filtered the same. Any weird taste is probably just from pipes and is easily eliminated by an additional filter.

More convenient? You are arguing in bad faith. There is nothing more convenient than turning on the faucet for a glass of water

This. But I also keep bottled water by the door cause I pretty much always want access to water and it's convenient.

I've been meaning to get a water cooler. Tap here sucks. Fridge has a filter but it sucks too. Swapped it out and the water tastes like shit. I haven't tried cleaning whatever I would have to clean to make it possibly taste better tho. Renting so not really on the top of my to do lists and my landlord is a lazy sack of shit lol

Tap water really is bad tasting in some places in my experience (like Phoenix AZ) but it'd be cool if people would just get a filter pitcher and a thermos instead of buying bottled water, it's cheaper in the long run and probably cleaner than bottled water anyway when you consider plastic chemicals leaching into it
