How Do You Like Your Water?

I actually don't like to drink water as it tastes just blah to me. So, sometimes I squeeze a big piece of lemon into it. It improves the taste IMO. I need to drink enough water and think we all do. I drink chilled tap water that has sat in the frig for about a day. Can't really afford to buy tons of bottled water.

So, how to you like your water?

I keep bottled water only for company because they like it.
I use a "Zero Water Filter Pitcher." The filters remove the chlorine & lead that make the water taste bad. They also trap sediment from pipes.
 
How Do You Like Your Water?


Hmmmm.....let me think, oh yes, served to me by the pool, by a gorgeous young woman, wearing a bikini, and with a bowl of fruit on her napper like Carmen Miranda.

I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi like that very much. 😊

I filter water from the tap as it is very hard in the South West of England. I do like soda water now and again with a drop of lemon juice. All water must be cold either from the fridge or with ice cubes. A friend of mine was in Arizona a number of years back and didn't like the water there. Can't remember the reason why. Any answers to that question welcome. ☺

when i was in ny the tap water was horrible. i spent a week drinking bottled everything.
 
We have excellent well water....a bit high in mineral content, so we have to run a water softener to keep the sink, etc., aerators from clogging....but it tastes great. I take a sample to the state health dept. every 3 or 4 years, and they always give it a good rating. I like to drink it straight out of the hose when working outdoors. I can sure tell the difference when I take a drink out of a city drinking fountain...with all the chlorine, etc., that they add.
 
I know I don't drink enough water and am trying to do better. I drink filtered water from the fridge and I like ice, please. I like to put lemon or mint, sometimes a slice of orange if I think about it. If I am on the go, I grab a bottle from our fridge in the garage to take along in the car.

Some of those minerals are good for us. I hear crop soils don't have the same amounts of minerals as years before, like magnesium.

Newark NJ water smelled like eggs and tasted vile! That's when I visited cousins when I was a teen. Before bottled water. I don't know or remember what they did, but I remember my older cousin warning me when I went to the sink, thirsty.

The said it was sulphur!

Flavoured carbonated water is my fave! No sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no nothing, just 100% natural flavoured water.

Not only is it refreshing, it's helped me wean myself off soda pop.

Ditto! Our well water is hard too so we had to put a water softener in since it was ruining our appliances. It’s far better than city water which is especially gross when they use it for soft drinks.

ny water has a fog in it that dissipates after a few min. it gave me the huhs.
 
I have been trying to increase my water drinking. I keep track and I am up to 4 glasses a day. I keep 2 bottles of water in the refrigerator, but I don't always drink it cold. I have a bottle of water on the counter that sometimes I just drink that. I have one of those water dispensers set up in my bathroom and Sonny (my bf) refills it with water from his house. He has spring fed water that is good. My water here smells strong from chlorine so I don't like it. I always have a lot of water as he refills that one on the dispenser as well as brings me plastic bottles of water too. I have never used plastic this much but when I moved here, I really had choice.

Holy Moses, my brother, your bladder must look like an overfilled water balloon, ready to burst at any time! I go through eight 12-oz. bottles of water, OTJ, never having to use the facilities because I sweat it away, quickly, but I can't imagine downing over thirty bottles in one day. Wow! I guess your begonias stay rightly hosed!
