Question

Answer 1

I just fill a cup up and drink it.

Answer 2

Nope i just drink it when it come and i think my fridge has a filter

Answer 3

i wait till it gets cold then drink it.

Answer 4

Na, we have great water.  You couldn't get better from a bottle.  I'm lucky though to live in a place with good water.

Answer 5

i just drink it straight away :P

Answer 6

No - back in the 50's I went swimming virtually every day in Public Swimming Baths and probably swallowed enough strongly chlorinated water to treat a whole Town.

Now in my 70's it's too late to worry about it.

Answer 7

Actually I wouldn't drink our water at all.  I heard they are finding birth control pills and other hormonal things in that water in very small amounts but I am sure that if you drink a lot of the water men may grow b***s and women might not have children and they too will develop b***s quick.  LOL talking about hormones in the cows, they drink the water also.

Answer 8

i dont drink tap water...although its the safest in the world were i live....bleck

Answer 9

We really are afraid of everything, aren't we. And then we see pictures of children who would do anything for a glass of our tap water. They must think we're something.

Answer 10

Your body needs a certain amount of free chloride ions anyway.  I just drink it from the tap.

Answer 11

Get some Evian and stop worrying!

Answer 12

I use a filter and keep it in a jug. I guess if there's any chlorine remaining it evaporates.

Answer 13

No.

Answer 14

I filter, but when I worked somewhere without a filter, I let a pitcher sit and would drink that.

Atlanta's water tastes like a swimming pool, but I dont live there any more.

Supposedly too much of that chlorine will kill off bacteria in your stomac/intestines. You are supposed to eat a container of yogurt to replenish it.

Answer 15

yes I drink tap water straight up but we also have a Britta filter for the fridge always refill when we take a glass full keeps the water cold instead of running the tap,and please lets get away from the bottled water nonsense they are finding more harmful chemicals in that stuff than you care to name

Answer 16

I don't but my wife boils her water for 10 min let it cool down then put it in the fridge and alway stays a day ahead.
