Do you boil water before drinking?

Well i don`t boil water..and i think i never had problem due to water in my life especially living in my hometown But when i was studying in rawalpindo,i mostly use mineral water

If someone boils their water in order to make their drinking water better, it will take a while for them to collect enough.... The part you drink is the steam that collects on the lid/cover that is over the boiling water. I'm sure there are machines that can speed the process, but if you're just boiling water at home on the stove, you're going to be boiling a long time! I personally just buy bottled water (Fiji) from the market or drink the distilled water from our refrigerator. It's a little faster! :D

i always use fresh water to drink, i didnt boil water nor i use mineral water

Umm ya i just drink the water out of the tap. it must not be safe to drink the water where your from?

best thing to do is to drink boiled water ,neaver belive in mineral water companys. drinking warm water is gud for health

yes i do boil water or drink mineral water. although tap water here is potable, we grew up not risking of getting sick and also some of my brothers are very sensitive to water and gets sick easily like amoeba.

The water at my house is filtered so there is no real reason to boil it too.

It is really necessary to boil water before drinking but to be very frank I dont. I know its benefit but sorry I m not alwayz able to do that.

i use a water filter- aqua guard and drink the water i get through it. the water is good, but to be on the safer side, i have installed aqua guard.

sometimes i used to boil

i drink boil water b/c i have not enough money for drinking mineeral water

No I only drink Mineral Water. The Mineral Water that I drink is internationaly recognise that is one of the best mineral water from Europe.

Nope i dont boil water.we just buy mineral water from the store.Its more safe.Water here is bad.

I don't boil it because we have a water filter and it does a pretty good job so no need to boil

usually I dont. But in winters some times I do boil it before drinking.

Yes, obviously I do, I do boil water every time before drinking or if Im out of town or something I can not have boiled water I use mineral water of some reliable company. Drinking water without boiling or mineral water will harm you internally therefore I recommend to use only boil water and mineral water for your good health (do not mind but this is what I said for your better health). Thankyou for providing us such a lovely discussion miss huma.

i used to drink water of watercoolers with gaurds like aquaguards etc.

yes it is better then normal water

We use mineral water for drinking and cooking. I buy them from a reputable place but for my little girl, we boil her water first. We have been okay with the water so I'm sure it's safe. You are right though, a while back when we got water from a different place, my daughter got sick with amoebiasis.

no, i dont boil water as i am using filtered water. even i am not sure abt these filters but still i dont bother much n i drink the water as it comes in the filter but when i move to some hill station, then i definitely boil the water before drinking. normally we carry our kitchen along n we tell the cook to boil the water, cool it n then only serve for drinking
