So you're driving down the road and get thirsty. You fill your glass with tap water from a restroom and place it in your cup holder. You let it sit for several hours to evaporate the chlorine, and finally quench your thirst?

Works for me. Can be a problem while traveling, however. I try to buy purified water by the gallon while on the road. It's far cheaper and more environmentally sound. When one is not used to chlorine in drinking water at home, it can be overpowering when traveling. Chlorine in water can ruin fountain soft drinks as well.
