		 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.
