Lately, though, i have learned to live with Deer Park. Overall, I have to say the my favorite water is Brita'd water from the tap.

Brita-fied water. I used to go and buy bottles of water all the time. Got one of those faucet attachment filters and its the best thing I ever did in a long time.

Tapwater. Seriously. Bottled water is for stupid people with things to waste their money on. I wish I could be so stupid to waste my money on things like bottled water :(.
I would agree with you if you live in a place with decent tapwater. When I was living in Brooklyn, I didn't mind drinking the tapwater. NYC overall has very good tapwater, which means it doesn't have any taste and the overall consistency of the water is as it should be. In the suburbs where I'm living now, I absolutely can't stand the tap water. It has a nasty type of taste and I'm pretty sure (if I remember from a report correctly) that it has higher numbers of toxic chemicals like heavy metals, though it's still within the "safe" range. I'm not sure whether the addition of fluoride to NYC's tap water is a good thing, though.

In Atlanta we have crappy tap water.

It just takes getting used to. Now when I go back home I think the water there tastes funny.
