Only when brushing my teeth, or taking my vitamins.

I drink it in coffee and iced green tea, but not straight.

Have always hated tap water

I drink our city tap water straight from the faucet.  From home and from work.  When we lived out in the country I only drank bottled water though. The water stank nasty... when I boiled my eggs it would turn the shells a shade of orange.  Grosses water and well set up you could imagine.  I wouldn't even cook with the stuff.  Another time I had well water we had a filteration device installed on the water softener... a company had to deliver jugs of hydrogen peroxide every other month or so. Love me some city water.  It's tested regularly and tastes fine to me.

We have a reverse osmosis filtration system so that we don't have to drink our tap water.  When I eat out, I ask for a slice of lemon for my water.

I grew up on well water on the farm and even drank water from the garden hose.

There's barely any difference, and if I remember correctly, studies have shown that people actually prefer tap water....

Our water passes the state labs. but really don't taste good. you can cook with it bath with. your choice. I have to be very thirsty. No wonder I rather drink milk or soda or the can veg or fruit water when I was young, parents never bought water that was unthinkable.

I drink both. We buy bottled water but I always refill the bottles to save money.

Boy, that really depends on the area of the country you are in, whether you have city water or a private well, and what's in your water and how it is treated.  I drink and cook with bottled water.  I live near, but not in, Flint, MI.  Unless you have been living under a rock, you must have heard of the problem there. However, I have a private well.  The problem is I have a very high arsenic content.  In order to treat it I have to get a reverse osmosis system which I have not done yet because I may or may not move in the next several years.  If you have a private well, you need to have it tested probably every 3-5 years!

At home I use a water filter pitcher.  I generally only take bottle water with me when I'm heading out the door.

I used to drink tap water in the midwest. I would take my powerade bottles and fill them up with tap  water and put it in the fridge. it was cold and good :)

I think the tap is okay where I live, but I would prefer not to drink it unless I had no other option. Water that comes through our fridge filter is fine.

I only drink bottled water or purified. Haven't drank water straight from tap since I was a child.

No I do not drink tap water. I buy bottle water and drink purified water. I like to drink clear tasting water.
