I've lived in places where the water was terrible, and places where it was
fine. When I lived where the water was really terrible, I was also really
broke, so I learned to live with it most of the time. It was okay for coffee
and cooking, and if I had to, I could drink it. But when I went to visit
people in good-water places, I'd bring gallon bottles and bring home their
tap water. They thought I was a little crazy unless they'd actually tasted
my tap water.

Interesting thing I read somewhere though -- people who are using bottled
water exclusively and whose kids drink only bottled water are ending up with
more cavities because they aren't getting the fluoride from the water
supply.
