I hate the tap water here. It sucks, not to mention who it's been through.

Mmm, bottled water. ^____^

Filtered tap water =). Bottled is ok too... and sometimes tap water XD. But only if there's no other choice.

Alright, so far the results of this poll have been about how I expected them to be.

Now, I have more things to share with you all... (I just wanted to give you a chance to vote first ;P).

Last May, an American news magazine TV program called 20/20 ran a very interesting story about bottled water vs. tap water.

You can read an article summary of that story here:

It's three pages =P

But basically, if you're lazy, I'll summarize it myself.

There's no real difference between bottled water and tap water. Most bottled waters are really just filtered tap water. Also, they did a blind taste test, putting various brands of bottled water against eachother (including the expensive Evian, which really does come France, and a very cheap KMart brand) alongside with New York City tap water (from an outdoor water fountain).
The tap water rated very well, even among people that claimed they didn't like tap water. The cheapest bottled water rated the highest. And Evian rated the worst, with most people saying it tasted terrible.

I usually drink bottled water because I drink flavoured water. Last time I checked, flavoured water didnt come out of the tap.

Depends on the flavour and where you live...

Filtered.

You taste Greer (well, Greenville, now) water and see how you like it. It's literally yellow.

I drink tap water sometimes, but bottled/filtered water tastes way better. I like bottled more than filtered though =3

Tap water. It's actually quite good in my city, but while I'm away I prefer mineral water.

Bottled water.

The refridgerator water here is fine, but I don't like the tap too much... This area has a lot of limestone, so it's sorta hard water. Refridgerator or bottled water for me.
