I don't drink bottled water. To tell you the truth, I don't often drink straight-up water unless it has bubbles in it. When I do drink it's out of the bottle for my bicycle, and it comes from the tap. My city just won a local award for best tasting water, competing against other cities in the area. But I have definitely been places--like Nevada and Arizona--where I wouldn't drink the tap water. It just tastes gross. I've been spoiled by good water my entire life; I grew up in an area with a community well, and even in the suburbs of Portland the water is quite tasty. Where I live now the water is 60% pumped out of the Willamette River (it's still clean where my town is on it), 40% from a creek in the Coast Range. Sometimes I run it through the Brita pitcher, but that's mostly just to have super cold water waiting for me in the fridge on a hot hot day.
