I usually drink tap water if I'm at home & at work I drink Great Value bottled water (Walmart brand) since the tap water at work is awful!0

I use to drink tap water. It tasted delicious when I lived in the Washington state. Now in Nevada it tastes like poo . I just got a fantastic water cooker from Costco for 2 dollars a month and they deliver me 5 gallon bottles for 6 bucks each. The very best part is it is both cold and hot so I can brew tea or a French roast coffee with it. I went from a five gallon bottle every six weeks to every two because of it. I might be a bit too hydrated now.1

It is so funny when people turn their nose up to any thing that is not bottled water. I always say, you have no idea where that water came from or what is in it. Just makes me laugh. I drink filtered water, but I buy bottled water for guests and for when I will be out and about, because it is easy to grab.0 -
I only buy bottled water if I'm thirsty in work. Other than that, it's tap water or Adirondack White Chocolate sparkling water.2

Considering bottled water doesn't have to go through anywhere near as stringent regulatory testing as tap water (at least in the UK), I'll stick with good ole tap water.2

Filtered tap through my refrigerator and Walgreens bottled water when I am working.0

Filtered tap. Bottled water has it convenience when necessary, but not at home.0

Tap, which comes from a private well. A well that gets tested maybe every five years, after I nag and nag and nag for three years and eleven months. It's like some landowners don't think coliforms are a thing that can get into ground water, or anything.
I carry a 16 oz Nalgene everywhere. If I need water, I'll get it out of any fountain or tap that is not labeled "not potable". I do not buy water as it is the biggest scam perpetuated upon the US population, and world at large, period. Never mind it just blowing up the plastics plague on this planet as an extra benefit.
I've tried one of the Stur water enhancers. Better than many I've tried but still nothing to write home about and tend to use more in hiking water than anything. I still miss and mourn the death of Kraft's Crystal Light Red Tea singles. Pretty much every day.

Mostly water (tap, from a spring-fed well.) Water with breakfast then coffee for the morning, then back to water. Occasionally decaf iced tea (that I brewed with my well water.) I've always preferred water, but I'm sure I'm still not drinking enough. I wish standard (i.e.cheap) water bottles had measurements on them so I could track it better!)0

Water cooler at work with my refillable water bottle.0 -
After drinking plain water by the gallon whilst living overseas, I drink carbonated water most of the time now. But if it didn't bore me our tap water is just fine.0

I am super-lucky where I live in New Zealand that my city's tap water comes from natural aquifers which provide some of the best untreated water to be found anywhere.1

It's great to see so many folks eschew bottled water. A good carbon block filter can take out chlorine, chloramine, and other VOCs if they are in your tap water. So many bottled waters are repackaged tap water. Nestle is trying to buy the water supply for Hood River, Oregon. Most of the bottles don't get recycled, but I hope that's been getting better lately. At one point, I used a statistic that if you put all the bottled water bottles that don't get recycled on the beach in California, they would cover the beach. From Oregon to Mexico.
Carynclarke is right about less stringent regulation for bottled water. It's true in the USA too. The Natural Resources Defense Council did a study years ago looking at contamination in bottled water. The good news is that almost half of the bottled waters tested had levels of contamination low enough that they could pass tap water regulations. Almost half....0 -
In Chicago tap water tastes like *kitten*.
A filter fixes that1 -
Adirondak White Chocolate sparking water, most of the time. If I don't have that, I drink plain ol' tap water.

I drink bottled water because I don't like the taste of our tap water. We have one of those filter pitchers but I'm tired of refilling the stuff all the time, honestly, but it's what I use for tea/coffee.0
