[QUOTE=BradB;29942230]Buying bottled water is completely stupid. If anybody is so fussy about the "taste", I've found putting tap water in the fridge alters it somewhat. Stop getting taken advantage of over a few marketing ploys.
Also at least here in Aus, the "free cup/jug of water" is mandated by law at any alcohol licensed place. More than likely to be the case anywhere in the world.[/QUOTE]
Not all tap water is good to drink, and sometimes it has chlorine or other chemicals in it that make it taste funny.
I like Evian water actually.
They, by law, have to give you a cup of water. I did this at Six Flags over Georgia once, because drinks there are all sorts of expensive, as is the food.
But the water itself is free which is so great.
Nothing quenches thirst better than a room temperature bottle of spring water, but you have free tap water anyways.
It's like getting free pepsi at your will, but if you wanna pay some extra for the Coke, it's way better
Isn't water in bottles almost always carbonated? Like, you know, how tap water isn't
I'm from Iceland. Our tap water is cleaner than that French Evian bottled shit.
But here in Denmark, we just roll with regular tap water.

Depends on the cultural norms. In Germany, yes. America, no.
Want water? Go to the washroom and fill up your re-usable water bottles.
They can't charge for it because it's friggin water, you can always go to their washroom and get some :P
I dislike non-carbonized water. That's why I prefer bottled soda water over tap water.
Variety of those is one of the few good things here in Poland.
The bottled water is not the restaurants own water. They have ordered those bottles on purpose just like cola and other drinks.
Most restaurants have an option to order a jug of water with your meal for free.
Buying corporate water is retarded.
Drinking tap water here is great way to get cancer and probably some other disease, it's inexcusable to not drink it when you have a decent filtration and quality in your town though, you are paying for it with your taxes after all.
[QUOTE=Rooster Assassin;25441168]I prefer the taste of bottled water, but I rarely buy it anyways.[/QUOTE]
They taste identical though. They did a blind study with bottled water and tap water, most people couldn't tell the difference, and the rest mostly preferred tap water.
[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25441198]Studies have showed that the tap water in North America is perfectly safe to drink right out the faucet. At least in Canada that is.[/QUOTE]
From memory it has less pollutants than the bottled water, usually.

I'm the opposite, I despite carbonation.
[quote]Researchers in Frankfurt, Germany, have just reported evidence suggesting that estrogen-mimicking chemicals can leach out of certain plastic bottles. Disturbing as that is, their data indicate that the mineral water dispensed in some glass bottles may also contain such hormonelike pollution — and not because it leached out of the glass.
This would mean the water was polluted prior to bottling. Several scientists now suspect one source might be the plumbing used to move water from natural reservoirs to — and/or through — processing equipment in a bottling plant.[/quote]
Here's an informative site comparing regulations:

I like it carbonated, though not-carbonated is fine too

I like drinking water in general, it's just that it makes me piss a lot obviously which is annoying
This thread made me go get a huge glass full of regular ice cold tap water.
It was great.
Ice cold tap water? Wish we had that here...
[QUOTE=BrQ;29948388]Ice cold tap water? Wish we had that here...[/QUOTE]
Well you could put it in a bottle and stick it in the fridge.
We have really cold water here if you just wait some seconds before you take water from the tap.
Sometimes I can perfer bottled over tap but that's because water from different places tastes different to me. The water from my tap has no flavor while most bottled has a different flavor that's pleasing to me.

The water smelled and tasted funny in the town I used to live in. It's not bad in the city though.
Bottled water taste like shit
[QUOTE=LarparNar;29948403]Well you could put it in a bottle and stick it in the fridge.[/QUOTE]
It tastes terrible then
only idiots buy bottled water, unless it's imported from France...
I don't see the point of bottled water really, I don't see any difference.
I doubt it actually tastes much different unless you live in Russia or something, I think it's just your mind making you think it tastes different.

Actually scratch that I remember on my trip to Florida the tap water tasted fucking disgusting.
I guess it's just fine in New England at least.
i occasionally buy bottled water, but thats mostly because i need the bottle.
Recently I've heard that they aren't allowed to do that anymore? It's like a liability, because the water is open and it could be poisoned?

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;25442159]except it tastes different.[/QUOTE]
It's because it's been sitting in plastic instead of lead lined pipes.
I only buy bottled water when I can't physically get a cup and go to a tap.
Seeing as if you live in a civilized area(North america for instance) if you're paying for bottled water, you're an idiot. It's not special water in anyway, it's essentially tap water that's been bottled by Pepsi or Coke or one of their subsidiaries and sold back to you at ridiculous price. And no, the water is not safer. There is all of [b]1[/b] person in the entire FDA that deals with water. ONE. PERSON. The water is not as safe as tap water, the water is not as cheap as tap water, and that water is draining natural resources in the areas it's bottled in massively, so much so that their water tables are suffering.
Don't buy bottled water unless you absolutely have to.
One thing I hate about water fountains at our High School (Or anywhere I suppose), is that the level of chlorine in it varies day to day, so one day it will be cold and not have that 'bite' to it, then the next day it's like drinking pool water.
Oh well, it's water and it keeps me going I guess.

Most bottled water here in America isn't, but they normally sell carbonated water along with it.
