Never buy bottled water ever if you are in a place where the tap water is fine, it is completely unethical.

I mean you could go the mineral water angle, at least that actually has some advantages over normal water. San Pellegrino is pretty nice.
Well now I've just spent the last 30 mins watching this shit
This thread is hilarious.

Seriously though, put that on a bottle and you'd make bank.

It's this, but it is too expensive. I usually buy Aquafina. Whenever is see my mom she tells me not to drink it because there is BPA in the water bottle...
Voss tastes the best.

I'm really starting to hate some gaffers' anti intellectual attitudes. Water has some of the widest range of tastes of any drink; having tried bottled water from all around the world extracted from a variety of sources including alpine aquifers, I can safely attest to this. There really is no comparison between the refreshment and pleasure you get from normal bottled water and that of a sparkling pint of Himalayan bore water. The fact that I feel sluggish after drinking normal bottled water clearly shows the health value of good bottled water. The fact that artisan bottled water is becoming more popular by the day in America is a great thing and I urge people to expand their horizons and actually give it a try. I can easily see H2O bars becoming a trendy replacement for cafes and bars in the future, especially with the increasingly health-conscious direction that society is heading in.

smart water is just distilled water then they add shit to it for taste.
fiji i think has higher levels of arsenic than plain tap water.
i like crystal geyser brand personally cause i think it has the best taste.

Yeah, for the price, Deer Park is pretty good.
I have no idea how "healthy" it is (as far as water goes); I just go for the taste.

The only brand I drink, tends to taste different in the UK than it does in the US for some reason.
Must be their carbon footprint. Since you know, putting water in Chinese made bottles in a South Pacific island and then shipping them to America is a reasonable thing we should do as a species.
But snark aside, you're imagining things. Don't feel bad though, it's confirmation bias, we're all susceptible to it, we all fall from it from time to time and it doesn't make you a bad or stupid person.
I used to really like arrowhead until I got a batch where the lid piece had the foulest odor and was absolutely disgusting. Even if it was just a one time thing I don't think I could ever go back to them cuz of it. Ugh just thinking about it still grosses me out jkfda;d
Now I stick to Fiji. Even if it is expensive at least it always tastes good.

Wait. Wouldn't distilled water have a higher chance of causing you harm due to its lack of minerals? Due to how osmosis works.

I lived for a bit in the Inland empire...that water is not suitable for human consumption.
In South LA and it's fine here.

Serious science here, solid control, good evidence. Sluggish after 'normal' bottled water? I honestly don't know what to say to that.
If you're fortunate enough to live in a country where potable water appears at the flip of a tap then, to me, bottled water is ethically abhorrent. Clean water is a basic human right denied to so many and yet here we have people spurning perfectly good water as it apparently makes them feel sluggish. Just wow.

You're right. Stick with tap water. Avoid bottled water.

Lol at the replies and people saying unless you are in Flint. Water issues are throughout major/older cities. They may not be at Flint levels but there is various issues.
Even in DC they are re-doing the water pipes and encourage you to run the tap for at least 20-30 seconds after you have used the hot water. You do realize you can have ok drinking water but the hot water pipes will bring in contamination if it was recently used?
Fiji is good and is actually getting cheaper. Deer Park is great but is regional and not available everywhere.

Use a filter, then boil the water.
I call it, filtered and boiled water brand.

Experiment with some sparkling waters. Love 'em.
Don't get the sweetened ones. Even though almost all of those are free... just get the flavored unsweetened kind. You'll adjust to it and love it.
And yeah, filtering your own water is an excellent way to go about it. But I used to drink a ton of soda... I love sparkling beverages. So for me, sparkling water is how I fend off that habit.

Yeah, I really like it. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it because it tastes a bit different than many other sparkling waters. But if I see it on the shelf I'll almost always buy it, unless I'm really really in the mood for a flavored variety.This. God tier.

Try different ones until you find one that has a neutral taste to you. I think Deer Park tastes skunky. Nestle Pure Life and Poland Spring taste OK. The local supermarket brand is also fine. I live deep in coal country where we have some of the highest cancer rates in the country, so I'll skip what comes out of the tap, thank you.
Lol, drink the tap water? Some of you clearly have never been outside of the US/Europe. Several of the places I lived growing up, I had a pretty high chance of immediately rocketing diarrhea straight out of my ass like some horrifying statue in a fountain to the devil if I so much as touched a drop of tap water.
When people ask me why I don't drink a lot of water as an adult, I have to explain that for years I couldn't drink anything that wasn't juice or soda for health reasons. All our water was boiled and tasted metallic like it came from a robot's nutsack.

This is one of those threads where I have the hardest time differentiating between real and joke replies.
I see absolutely zero reasons why to buy bottled water unless your tap water is absolutely undrinkable even with a filter. It's just incredibly wasteful especially if you live in a country without a bottle deposit system.

If you drink water with vastly different pH you will notice right away how different it tastes.
I mostly drink tap water and I always have around a high-alkaline water (9,5 pH) and it's impossible not to recognize which one I'm drinking.

The well water tasted so bad when I was growing up we had to put Kool-Aid in it. And then it still tasted like Kool-Aid someone had shit in. And this was packing milk jugs from a neighbor's well. Couldn't drink from our well unless you wanted to drink rust.
