I literally have no water in my house. Usually in my house we have like 9 big bottles of water but we ran out and my dad forgot to go get more.

Can I drink tap water without dying?

edit: not literally
 
sigh....

Bottled water should be banned. It's so incredibly wasteful. Transportation costs, all the plastic manufactured, waste of proper disposal, store space, labor.
 
Do people really drink that water? I have an uncle that does but he's a patriotic weirdo who votes for high teacher wages. We've always assumed he was a goose stepper because he likes that faucet juice.
 
It's pretty much all I drink, other than like tea, which I make with tap water. I mean, if you lived in like a third world country, I could see the desire for bottled water, but you live in the United States, come on man...
 
It really depends on where you live. In most places, it is perfectly fine to drink tap water, and it is pretty much just as good for you as bottled water. However, in some other places, there can be hazardous Bactria or minerals in the water that will make it less drinkable.
 
If you live in the US, the regulations and standards for tap water are a million times higher than those for bottled water. (Now, bottled water is tap water so it should be as clean but it doesn't have to be by law.)
 
Uh yes?

Bottled water is the biggest con ever. Fill up a bottle from the tap and put it in the fridge for a bit.

Tada, bottled water!
 
the plastic constituents leeching off into your water through regular use, cleaning, and wear are probably more of a threat
Bottled water should be banned. It's so incredibly wasteful. Transportation costs, all the plastic manufactured, waste of proper disposal, store space, labor.

why ban it when we can make a killing off selling it to rubes?
 
I wish we could drink tap water over here, but that shit is dirty. Bottled mineral water is all we gave (and distilled water but fuck that)
 
no one i know will drink tap water but me and like 1 other person. i swear everyone thinks the gov is out to get them. not even joking
 
I guess it depends where you live. I have drank tap water all my life, and I always fill my flask of tap water before going to bed.

Come to think of it, it's very uncommon to buy bottled water in Norway. Cold tap water is delicious.
