Do You Drink Boiled Water, Tap Water, Or Bottled Water?
My family has always boiled water, even if it's safe tap water--NYC tap water--because we think that boiling water will get rid of more of the germs found in it.
So do you drink boiled water? If not, do you prefer to drink tap water or bottled water?

I get bothered by people who use bottled water when it's not absolutely necessary. It's so bad for the environment!
I drink any kind of water as long as it's safe, though I'll pour it into my water purifier and stick it in the fridge if I have time.
I've always been told drinking's bad for you, so.
@InTheThin@xanga - I agree
I drink filtered tap water.
Tap water. We have a well, it tastes fine, and I hardly ever get sick.
You know, tap water, if anything, is better for you than bottled water. It has more minerals. True Story.
I use a Brita filter to drink my tap water. the only problem I have with tap water is its not cold enough, and in my area, sometimes it stinks! Its not dirty, but it has this weird smell. I actually give my cat filtered brita water too, because she's fussy about water. She wont drink it unless its cold :P
@InTheThin@xanga - I agree, I watched this slide show about bottled water, and where it all goes after.. pretty disturbing, if you ask me.
Tap filtered water.
i drink boiled water.
i think most of the people drink boiled water in hongkong
cus tap water is not that suitable for directly drinking
I drink expensive tap water aka bottle water. We have a well so there is a lot of iron in our water we have to filter it. But I recycle....
Filtered tap water. At home, I drink boiled well water (is the boiling an Asian thing? I've never run into any non-Asians who do it).
@just_the_average_jane@xanga - yeah i think it is? haha i'm an asian too and i drink boiled water sometimes, more of tap water though.
boiled water. it feels weird if i just drink the tap water from the kitchen.
boiled water
We use the $1 for 5 gallons of filtered water for our water cooler. No excess waste (plus the bottles are reusable) for what it costs to buy a bottle of water from the store, which we do also on occasion but we reuse those bottles with water from the cooler.
@InTheThin@xanga - There is something called recycling.
Cullian. You know, one if those water dispensers you seen in clinics.
Woa, I didn't know so many people boiled their water. o_o
I drink filter tap water. I love Brita =]
At home, boiled. Otherwise, bottled. I know tap is clean, but I can't get over the taste. Some places have better tap water than others.
