Hell no, even if I don't get water from the reverse osmosis counter top system(not often), the "tap water" is coming from a reverse osmosis whole house filter. I only drink tap water when I'm at other people house's and it is obvious to me that I'm drinking tap water.

The only thing I use tap water for is cooking or making tea/coffee. I rarely if ever drink it. Bottled all the way. It's more convenient if nothing else.

I've got well water, dont use any type of Brita thing. Tastes great to me, and depending on where I'm at, I can notice a difference between that tap water and my well water.

We boil the water in a tea kettle and it fills up a pitcher. There's only two of us so it lasts for a few days...

I Brita'd in college. Same filter all those semesters... I think it was the same as drinking from the tap. ;)

when my city has real estate advertisement on the highway saying that "it's clean, green, and nuclear free!" i think something is up. I go with the britta.

Technically yes, since I use the water filter. Though if I leave any water standing in a glass, nice calcium deposits.

no, I am not paranoid.

Plus, most bottled water tastes nasty. Alberfoyle is just plain disgusting.

Here in Indiana?
Hell no. It's nothing but chalk and PCBs.

In Mississippi?
Yeah, it's a good bit cleaner.
