    Default Anyone Buys Bottled Water?

    Well I do/did..from time to time. i keep thinking that it's way better and healthier than tap water because of different chemicals and other crappy shiit in there, but i've been drinking tap water+ ice for a while.

    We use a brita pitcher thing here at the house. I know tap water is safe, I like the taste of the pitcher filtered water though. We NEVER buy bottled water.

    just seen this too on Yahoo! Usually I buy Distilled Water, or SmartWater Bottled water... Distilled water seems to have a much fresher taste to me...

    I loooove SmartWater. Love love love SmartWater. I got big into bottled water in Savannah, because the water that close to the ocean tastes horrible and I was drinking sodas and other things, which was just putting my body all out of whack. So I started buying bottled water sheerly for taste, which I think is the reason so many people drink bottled water... I could care less if Dasani is just overglorified tap water... it came from a tap that tastes better than the tap at my apartment in Savannah.

    Buying bottled water has been a hard habit to "break" now that I'm back in Athens. It's in my head to, by default, pick up some water whenever I go grocery shopping or even go to the convenience store... If I go in to prepay for gas, I pick up a bottle of water while I'm in there. The water out of the tap (well.. the fridge door) isn't bad, but it tastes different from smart water, which I'm trying to get used to lol. Not worse, not better, just different. I do make a point to reuse my bottles for at least a week, though. I keep a bottle in my room, and that bottle is almost always filled from the fridge door... and then I recycle the bottles when I do eventually toss them.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I don't know nor do I care about bottled water being better for you, however I know it TASTES a hell of a lot cleaner, so that's why I buy it.

    I drink both. I have bottled water for when I am out of the hosue and Id rink it from the tap at the house. Bottled water does taste better though.

    For me, bottles water is more convenient because you can easily take it with you. Put the cap on and toss it in the car and go. You can easily drink it while driving unlike a glass which will splash everywhere.

    bottled water for taste and ease.

    i buy about 2x 24pcks of nestle purified and dasani weekly because they taste better than the tap water. however, when i get an apartment im going to invest in a filter like brita or something.

    It's actually not good to drink DISTILLED water. It replaces the water in your body but has no nutrients what so-ever. There is a difference between purified and distilled water. Filtered water still has the natural nutrients in it. If you drink enough distilled water, it could really mess with your body... Just from some reading I have done...

    you better off getting your nutrients from food and not relying on water for nutrients.


    unless you consume only water
