not sure what is best.

tap water....fluoride...industrial waste...good for cleaning.

distilled water...from plastic container,guessing the best.

spring water....from plastic container, expensive should be the best,but is it really from a spring?

rainwater.....going to give it a go this winter.

From what I've read on the Interweb dihydrate monoxide is a very dangerous chemical that causes the deaths of thousands of people every year.

i just did some web research on dihydrate monoxide on the web, sounds like dangerous stuff... i'll be more cautious from now on.

Whether it came out of a bottle, tap or anywhere else, every drop you drink is 4 billion years old. In that time it's probably been places you don't wanna know about.

You should switch to hydrogen hydroxide instead.

It's the chemicals they use when molding the bottles which is all part of the hidden agenda

Don't drink the tap water!!!11 Didn't we go over this already?

Spring water isn't from a spring. It's from underground labs where they add special chemicals.

Rainwater contains chemtrail residue. Duh.

Distilled water is the go. But only if you buy it in glass bottles.

whats wrong with fluoride?
I've been drinking fluoridated water all my life and I have no health problems but nice, white teeth.
We actually did a report about fluoridated water in year 12 chemistry, it turns to be poisoned by fluoride you need something like 200 times the concentration that is put in our water supply

We live in Australia...not Bolivia...there's nothing wrong with our tap water!

Considering you pay 3 times as much for bottled water then you do for Petrol, there's something not right there!

Fluoride helps more than it hinders...look at the general condition of QLD teeth compared to NSW!

Is it a con? Of course it is!

It is one of the most abundant resources on the planet. We all joke about how soon it will be before they charge us for sex. Well thay have found a way to make money out of water, without which we cannot live.

Look at how they did it - does anyone remember the ecoli in the Sydney water supply scare? Yup, the media!

Yep, there is no shortage of people who choose to hand over obscene amounts of cash to the likes of CCA. Me, I'll just keep buying the shares and drink tap water, sometimes even from a glass bottle!

I'm not sure that that's true.

The atoms yes, but the molecules... unlikely. Without getting into it too much, plants destroy water while growing (by turning it into something else), and create it again when they die.

it's just another global warming topic in disguise!

¡It takes 3 liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water
¡17million barrels of oil were used in 2006 to make 31 billion plastic water bottles
¡More than 31 billion plastic bottles every year will never decompose
¡The profit margins for bottled water are 25 to 30 percent
¡2001-2006 saw an excess of 40% growth in millions of dollars
¡Over 90 percent of the cost of bottled water goes to bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing, and profit

drinking bottled water is good if it comes from your tap first and bad if you buy it. you're wasting 3 times the water you've drunk and polluting the planet with land fill.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1974 I was doing mining exploration work in the Kalahari.

An old african guy gave us a watermelon in the heat of the day. I offered to pay him for it and he shook his head in scorn and told me he could not accept money for water.

He was living in what 99.9% of us would see as being abject poverty.

Completely squalor free poverty. Uncluttered mind, uncluttered existence.

If everyone can see the gormlessness of bottled water why do we buy it?

Who says advertising does not work, both viral commercial media and paid for commercial media!

I think there might be a natural spring down near Kwinana. I am sure it must be pure water down there, right next to the refinery. I think its at 666 Rockingham road.

Wouldn't that qualify as being similar to drinking tank-water?

Pretty much all of my generation drank water straight from the tap or hose.
Most had pretty good teeth too.
No namby pamby **** about bottled water etc. If you were thirsty you either asked a home owner to drink from the hose or did it anyway.
Certainly dont remember anyone getting crook or dying from drinking water from Warragamba Dam.
Ask Coca Cola Amatil how much it makes from putting water in plastic bottles and marketing it each year???

And dont forget how much water is in beer. We all drink that without a second though. HTFU!!!!!!!!!

that's all we drink, we run the rainwater through a carbon filter but in my young days no filtration straight from the tap,kids these days don't get a chance to build up their immunity systems they grow up in a sterile world.

Chemtrails. The illuminate is releasing chemicals from jet planes, most notably dihydrogen monoxide into the atmosphere. According to a site on the interweb, governments encourage their citizens to capture this chemical for later consumption, or is that poisoning
