of course mineral water, tap water contains so much impurities and is not at all good for health, when i don't get a purified water i at least boil the tap water for at least 5 minutes so as to make it bacteria free and good for drinking. we should all go for mineral water only but if it's not available then boil the tap water.

Mineral water is said to be from source and tap water is always treated.

I drink both mineral and tap water. I like mineral water because it is so light and taste good. The taste of the tap water here varies based on location. The water supply close to the sea tend to be salty. I do not drink that one at all.

Hi Yugasini. I used to drink plain or flavored bottled water throughout each day, but it is too expensive for me now, so I drink tap water instead. There are always safety issues about contaminates, etc, with bottled water these days, and even with some of the well water! Drink up! Karen

I mostly drink tap water, everyday when coming to the office I take a bottle of tap water with me because here in the office the tap water taste very bad so I prefer to bring mine with me. I sometimes buy mineral water but it is only when I forgot to bring my bottle from home. I drink around two bottles per day.

I would like mineral water very much.I think it is much better than our health than tap water.I heard that tap water is not very good for our health ,because they might contain some dangerous chemical in it.

Hi yugasini! I drink tap water all the time! I don't believe that the bottled water is any better than the water coming from the tap. I have been drinking tap water all my life and nothing has ever happened to me. I have never gotten sick from drinking it and it tastes just fine. I keep some in the refrigerator so it is always cold. I refuse to waste money on bottled water!

I just drink whatever water happens to be available at the time. Although, from personal experience, I find Evian slightly more salty than usual water, so I refuse to drink it.
