Tap Water
I have been drinking distilled water enough lately to realize that, when I get water out of the faucet, tap water TASTES LIKE FUCKING BLEACH SMELLS.

Discuss.

1. It does...
None of my friends understand, but I'm a snob when it comes to water. Only filtered.

2. Where do you live?
Hetch-Hetchy is said to be one of the best tap waters.

3. We have well water (tested and good) where I am now...
but yeah, if you start drinking bottled water, you realize that city water usually tastes like that. Hell, when I lived in New Brunswick, even after filtering the water, it still was like fucking chemicals. It was so sick.

6. Yes. It does.
Treated water smells and tastes horrible!

But distilled water is not good for you either. If you drink too much of it, it can flush the electrolytes OUT of your system.

7. our well water was so nasty
it was saturated with sulphur badly, that we got a home filter system. It works wonders, and it better, it cost us a damn arm, and a leg...thats why i type so slow, and why i can't run worth a damn.

8. It also has a green tint to it here.
It pure nasty, if you ask me. I'd rather drink the spring water or better yet Dr Pepper or Ovaltine.
