WHAT tap? i lived through the DC water crisis around i think it was 1998-- the water was filthy and they had to add extra chlorine to kill the bacteria; the chlorine reacted with the organic compounds in the pipes and created toxic gases-- they recommended you showered with the windows open so you wouldn't pass out.

some bottled water is certainly crap-- walrats for example sells "municipal water" in bottles from san antonio tx. other spring waters etc will be different.

one important thing to consider is that bottled water cannot contain chlorine. maybe it's removed by filtration or maybe it didn't have it in the first place.

i some locations, maybe bottle water offers only a marginal benefit, but i don't trust my municipality. besides, im made mostly of water, and i don't mind paying the extra $ to ensure that my body composition is not high in halogens. i also have a filter that i use for cooking. maybe i could use that for drinking as well but im extra paranoid.

an interesting fact--my cat, who knows nothing of marketing, LOVES bottled water-- his favorite one is volvic-- i shit you not.

anyway, if i ever go through your checkout, please 1) be happy that i'm kicking in money to cover your paycheck 2) be assured i'm happy to spend my money on it, and nobody is making me
