there is something wrong with you if just drinking uk tap water makes you feel ill.

 

if it's really that bad then just leave it for half a day or boil it to get rid of the chlorine.

boiling idea good tho. and to get some more water.

Tap water has recently been found to be better for you than bottled water, as bottled water is stagnant for weeks

here you go.....................

 

Is bottled water a rip off? The short answer is yes. There is nothing great about it. The only thing that is great about it is how it has been marketed. They tell us it is the best thing that we can get. It is something we all should drink. You have to keep in mind that these companies are in the business of making money. Their goal is to sell you bottled water. Even if you don't need it.

 

Is bottled water better for you than tap water? No, it certainly isn't. In fact, most bottled water is just tap water. It is filtered and purified so it doesn't have the taste that the water from your tap has. Anything that will get you to drink more water is great. Though, you must realize that it is nothing more than a waste of money. You aren't getting something that your body will jump for joy when it gets.

 

You have to watch what you buy though. Some bottled water has things added to it. Sometimes they will add sugar or other flavorings to it. If it doesn't taste like pure water, there is something added to it. Sometimes the water will come from a spring or a mountain river. Is this any better for you? Not really. There might be some minerals in it that tap water won't have. But for the most part it is just the same, but more expensive.

 

You like the taste of bottled water but you don't like the taste of your tap water. What do you do? For starters, I would suggest that you don't run to the store to get more bottled water. There are many products that you are use to filter your tap water. One of my favorites is the pitcher with the filter in it. I'm sure you have seen these on television before. When you pour the water, it goes through a filter.

 

 

If you don't like the taste of your water, try filling up the empty bottles that you have from the bottled water with tap water. Stick them in the ice box and get them nice and cold. You will notice that when cold, the water has a different flavor. You might find this to be drinkable.

 

The problem I see with the bottled water is, it is too expensive. They are charging you an arm and a leg for something you can get next to free. Why should you pay for it? Well, you shouldn't. I don't know why people don't feel guilty for buying bottled water. It is one step up from going to a whore.

 

You should stop drinking the bottled water and see how much money you save just for one month. I find it crazy that there are people around the world dying of starvation and disease and we pay a dollar or more for a bottle of water. That seems so crazy to me.

 

[Guest Shenlong]

As people say, boil water, filter or leave it to stand for a few hours to improve the taste.

 

Also you haev to bear i mind that you're more likely to have stuff in bottled water as it doesn't have to meet the same safety tests as tap water, not found stuff ever in tap water but have done a few times in bottled water in labwork.

 

That and bottled water is a couple of thousand times mroe expensive than tapwater.

I drink tap water at home but have a water filter

 

In clubs i tend to ask for a glass of tap water rather than a bottle for several reasons.

1. Im a stingy bastard and in London im not paying extorsionate amounts for some water.

2. U tend to lend m8s water bottles more than a glass and after what happened on NYE i cant trust people nemore with that.

3. Not sure whether it tastes better but it isnt horrible most of the time

4. Cubs legally have to supply free drinking water in bars so i take full opportunity of that fact considering how much i spend on everything else on the night

[Titchy]

i love water. full stop.

[Guest Shenlong]

This is tap water from the bar not from the toilets. and ben only drinks in clubs.

[Daredevil Tony]

I've never been to a club in London where they give you tap water from the bar. I know this is law but no one cares!

[Louise]

:yeahthat:

 

i have standards and they rarely stoop as low as water from the bogs. I only do that if they refuse to give me tap water at the bar, or they've run out of glasses.
