    Bottled water is more expensive the gas per gallon. Better to see if you can get a filtering system (like a filtering pitcher) and use your tap. Saves way more money and you don't need to store bottles.

    I prefer Dasani-hands down. I will however drink whatever is on hand at friends or relatives houses. :)

    I hate bottled water, its environmentally disastrous and I get good quality water out of my tap for free. Why pay for bottled water that's the exact same quality??? (If not worse due to sitting stagnant in a plastic bottle for a year or more depending)

    I only drink Angel tears. But in a pinch I will drink Unicorn tears as well.

    i prefer dasani if *need* to buy a bottle of water, but I just use a brita filter and fill up my tin water bottle. Cheaper, and way less plastic for the environment. :wink:

    I use to drink bottled water until i realized what a gigantic waste of money and resources it is!

    The tap water here unfortunately sucks though so I just bought a Brita Max filter pitcher, holds about 18 cups!

    Bottled water seems to be all around bad! It's bad for the environment, its expensive, and there are long-term health effects of BPA and phthalates that leach from the plastics.

    I mostly drink filtered tap water in my Camelbak 750ml bottle. Fill it up about 4 times a day :)

    Fuji is probably the best tasting and quality, but the cost is astronomical compared to other bottled water and ever more so compared to filtered or tap water.

    My tap water is filtered. I fill up old bottles and keep cold water in the fridge and try not to waste money on plastic.

    I have a Camelback that has a filter on it...that bottle goes with me every where I go. I have to change my filter every month since it is only good for 300 refills. My family bought this for me at Christmas and since we have saved $$$$ on bottled water. We also keep a Brita pitcher filled in our refrigerator which we all drink from.

    I agree!

    I bought two BPA free plastic 3 gallon jugs from Whole Foods and I fill them up there at the 39 cents per gallon purified water dispenser. Then I pour into the glass water bottle I bought (http://www.lifefactory.com/adults.html -- it is covered on the outside so it doesn't break when I drop it, and I DO drop it...and it has a handy little handle on top) and take it around with me everywhere I go :)

    Fiji water is first choice.
    Smart water second choice.
    Filtered Tap water with any of the 6 Mio flavors. Third choice.

    If you haven't tried Mio in your water you need to. It is great.

    I like Dasani - it is purified by reverse osmosis and has minerals added for taste.

    They also add SALT to make u drink more of their product. Just a random fact.

    I am super picky about water. I only like certain brands, based soley on it's taste to me. My personal favorites are Aquafina and Dasani. I only drink bottled water when I am out running around. At home I drink filtered tap and at work I drink delivered bottled water.

    I drink filtered tap water. Much cheaper and greener than bottled with the same clean flavor.
