Due to my liver transplant I can't drink my well water at home unless it's boiled, so I have to have bottled water. When I go somewhere and I know that the water is treated (chlorinated) I will drink tap water without additional filtration.

There is nothing wrong with my well water, in fact I really like the taste of it, but the doctors just don't recommend that people on anti-rejection drugs drink untreated water.

At home, I drink bottled. The water that comes out of the sink is initially brown. No thanks.

At work, no water cooler, so we have filtered water. I don't like filtered water because, IMO, shit don't work. The water comes out discolored or sometimes the carbon in the filter gets into the water :eh:

i drink about 4 'nalgenes' full a day, tap or filtered, as long as the tap tastes ok. but sometimes i get a little weirded out thinking about what's in it and where it's been, etc.. but then again you don't really know what's in bottled water or where it's been when you buy it either

Well, according to a recent study, the well water in my area has abnormally high amounts of this certain carcinogen. The tap water here and at my apartment doesn't taste right to me. So I drink it from a Brita or bottled.

:hs: my town tested high in radon when I was a kid. It wasn't once or twice, it was for a few years straight.
