i do not understand why people are afraid to drink tap water! i hate it when my friends wont drink the tap water and insist on buy bottled when it is probably the same thing anyway! plus it is outrageous to spend 2 to 3 dollars on something you could get for free if you brought your own water bottle in the first place.

Yeah, Madonna's $10k bottled "water" habit, huh?
First adopting already parented African kids, then this? What a priority contest she has won: how much more can I waste of my waning popularity on stupid BS?
In 10 years, we're gonna look back on all this and laugh boistriously.

I run through several credit cards a month in a desperate attempt to keep up with my hero Madonna's 10K-a-month bottled water habit...

I like the taste of bottled water so much better, but I'm fundamentally opposed to paying for water. Plus, the plastic bottles just fill up landfills and the production and transportation of bottled water leaves a huge carbon footprint.
Thank goodness for Brita.

Distilled-bottled water is the only water worth drinking. Tap water is full of Chlorine and Fluoride, both which are considered toxins for our bodies.

Bottled water is a racket right up there with car insurance. Dasani is drawn from municipal water people. It's basically BOTTLED TAP WATER. Don't believe the hype!

A long article on the bottled water industry...
"We're moving 1 billion bottles of water around a week in ships, trains, and trucks in the United States alone. That's a weekly convoy equivalent to 37,800 18-wheelers delivering water."

It all tastes the same to me. But tap water is tested under more rigorous standards than bottled water, and bottled water only adds to the heaping mounds of plastic in our landfills (or worse) in our oceans. So why not just fill up a reusable bottle before you head to work or school?
It's unhealthy to be dehydrated. But who says you need to get your water from Aquafina or Smartwater?

This is why I drink only tap water. For the billion on this planet who have no potable water, drinking bottled water to give Pepsi, Coke, and Nestle more profits than the pharmaceutical industry seems just a tad bit immoral to me.
