Do you drink mainly bottled water or tap water?
Which do you believe is the safest options?
What are some concerns associated with tap water vs. bottled water?
Statement 1:
As a child living in New York we only drank tap water growing up, or when we were playing outside we drank from the hose. While I was growing up we heard things about lead being the tap water, but I never had any medical issues from the water, later on a I was getting older my mom would buy the water filters and even had one on the faucet.
As I got older my wife only drinks bottled water she says it taste different from tap. I’ve never actually taste the difference between tap and bottled but I have tasted different bottled water like Poland spring and Dasani doesn’t taste the same. I really don’t know what the safer option is, I just thinks what you body is used to because there are negative things about both tap and bottled water.
From the article I retrieved it says that tap water under goes way more tests than bottled water, also tap water has level of chlorine in it that eliminates bacterial issues. Also once bottle leaves where it has been process if it is open then it becomes contaminated. Also 99.96 of tap water passes the strict standards that are in place. In textbook it also confirms that there is less testing on the bottle water, but also states that bottle water is held to the same standards. Tap water is tested by the EPA and bottle water is tested by the FDA which doesn’t have to follow all the rules set by the EPA.

Statement 2:
When I am at work I drink bottled water, mainly because the tap water has a funky smell and taste to it. However, when I am at home I use ice out of the freezer and water right out of the sink. My wife, on the other hand, uses a Brita to filter the tap water prior to drinking it. My family and I drink lots of water. I try to keep soda out of the house, because if I do not then I will drink it instead of water. For that reason, my wife does not buy it at the grocery store nor do I.
