Not that I disagree with the OP, but in many, many place, it's not entirely safe to drink tap water ...
Was just about to say that plus it is convenient for traveling.

OP you know there is Iron in tap water right? And you know that forms Kidney stones right?

And you know people say Kidney stones are worse then childbirth....right?

Let me think about this OP the sinks in my dorm are filthy on a consistent basis so that isn't going to happen. Then at home there is mold in the water so again that isn't going to happen. Also I am not poor so I can afford bottled water when needed.

I wish I was born 30 years ago and came up with the idea to package and sell water.

Because my town's local water supply has multiple chemicals in it and is very poorly filtered. It is unhealthy and tastes awful. As such, we bought our own water filter and occasionally drink bottled water.

Tap is disgusting. Period.

All the water in my taps tastes like dirt. That's why I drink bottled water. If I can't use bottles I still drink from the tap.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

It's not very stupid. It's portable, and the container is disposable. It's practical.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Having to pay $3+ for it is ridiculous.

What are you going to do if your well runs dry? If your water lines are destroyed? If your water source is contaminated?


We keep water in bottles because we live in an Earth Quake zone. If we get a major earthquake it is a good possibility that our water will be cut.

So we keep at least one case of water in our food rotation. We rotate it just like our Rice and beans, and canned food. Because if we don't we could die.


Bottled water does not piss me off. It could save my life one day. Bottled water is a very important part of my life.

Signatures are for little kids.

I don't care, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

I like water bottles, but yeah, bottled water seems superfluous sometimes.

Don't know where I got iron from but yeah I was wrong. Hard water CAN increase your kidney stone chances through. You don't take chances with kidney stones.

Still, bottled water comes in handy when you want to bean a certain annoying pop star in the head.

Related, big time.

I don't need no stinking signature!

it depends on where you live. Where I live the unfiltered tap water is very good, but when I go to hawaii i drink bottled since the tap water is literally yellow from sulfur.

Unless your water is contaminated like that bottled water is a huge waste though. If you live in a city the chances of anything harmful actually being in the water is nil.

Of course hard water increases chances, but bottled water could be just as hard as tap.

Well my mom buys it and it tastes better than tap water so if it is in the fridge I'll drink it. I don't go out of my way to buy it for myself however.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

What if I didn't plan on staying out so long and I need teh water.
