- Go to Bottled Water – the Drink of the Rich and Uneducated...
This is because the educated know, that bottled water is a lot of rubbish. A survey in the UK showed, that the bottled water sold on the supermarket shelves was up to 10 years old and contained lots and lots of unhealthy stuff. I never us it, except in really really unhealthy countries, Turkey NOT being one of them with extremely pure tapwater.

Aah the lure of spas and bottled water ala Milan Kundera’s comedy/drama novel Farewell Waltz! Take it easy on yourself, BCA!

I bottle my own water in glass bottles because I've heard too much about the negative effects of using plastic water bottles.

I am spoiled, I get my water filtered from my refrigerator. So much cheaper!
Naut I think you may have got lost because I tossed in spiritual undertones with use of mount and challis (grail) and the like. It all meant forge ahead on one's merit! Shelly

I'm in agreement w/ fellow commentators. Huge waste to be drinking bottled water all the time. It's great for emergencies or perhaps travel but a total waste in general-not to mention how much cheaper plain old tap water is.

I drink tap water unless I am out and about and caught without and have a terrible thirst.

It's handy to have bottled water for traveling, and useful to have a few
days' supply stored in case of emergency. But drinking it every day and tossing the bottles is just plain wasteful.

Empty plastic bottles plague our landfills because people don't recycle
them like they should...I use to buy bottled water, not because I thought it was healthier than tap water, but because it tasted better...now I have a water filter and that problem is taken care of, and I'm not contributing to the carbon imprint.
