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

Enjoy your single celled organisms!

 

[RedShift]

If you're in the US/Europe/Can/NZ/Aus etc it's probably safer than drinking bottled water.

[BocoDragon]

Bottled water didn't exist 30+ years ago, so you tell me.

 

[Nervous Sausage]

All I drink is tap water and I'm still alive and healthy so go for it.

ARE YOU A WATERIST?

you will literally became a host to billions of parasites

 

[Bboy AJ]

Bottled water should be banned. It's so incredibly wasteful. Transportation costs, all the plastic manufactured, waste of proper disposal, store space, labor.

 

[xxracerxx]

The fuck is wrong with you? Drink tap water and live a full and prosperous life.

 

[Codeblue]

Tap water will make you less likely to get cavities.

So there's that.

 

[Ampersands]

Would you rather die by poisoning or thirst?

Spoiler

You're won't die if you drink tap water.

Where do you live? The water municipality should have the quality and tolerances for their water online.

 

[Prozel]

I live Denmark. Tap water is the f'ing best. Seriously, it's delicious.

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.

 

[Kabouter]

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...

 

[roytheone]

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.

 

[Chainsawkitten]

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.)

Lol, pretty much this op.

[Conspiracy theory] Australia puts fluoride in the water to control you [/Conspiracy theory]

 

[Disgraced]

"Don't trust the tap water."

I kid.

I drink tap water sometimes. I'm not dead yet.

 

[Vashetti]

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!

 

[that1dude24]

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?

 

[GavinGT]

Sure, if you like being mind controlled.

 

[Hammer24]

Tap water is more strictly controlled than bottled water in the industrialized nations.

 

[BlackGhost]

Drink the tap water OP, it'll make you feel dangerous.

 

[PdotMichael]

Well, the quality of tap waters is more influenced by the own facilities than from the water company. Dirty taps, lead pipes etc..

 

[sirap]

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)

 

[Seraphis Cain]

OP, I'm genuinely curious as to what made you ask this question.

 

[Touch]

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

 

[Broder Salsa]

It sure is here.

Do they use bottled water for cooking? Or does boiling the water make the chemtrails disappear?

 

[FkLA]

No because of the fluoride and amoebas

 

[sappyday]

OP, I'm genuinely curious as to what made you ask this question.

I'm really thirsty.

 

[hidys]

Your body fluids will be fine.

 

[FkLA]

I'm really thirsty.

Can't you drive? If you're so scared of drinking from the tap then go out and buy some bottled water

 

[sappyday]

Can't you drive? If you're so scared of drinking from the tap then go out and buy some bottled water

No I can't drive and my local liquor just closed.

 

[Strike]

You'll live.

 

[FkLA]

No I can't drive and my local liquor just closed.

Then boil your water

 

[RangerX]

Isn't that all the cold tap is used for?

 

[HGStormy]

My third hand is giving the thumbs up, so yes.
Chug chug

 

[SJRB]

You seriously don't know if you can drink the tap water in your own fucking house?

 

[Bboy AJ]

why ban it when we can make a killing off selling it to rubes?

Certain people make a killing. Everyone else suffers for it

 

[Gorger]

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.

 

[Slackbladder]

Some would say Fluoridation - guest appearance by Lionel Mandrake is a cause of concern....

 

[littlerat]

Tap water contains DHMO, so just be wary of that.
