Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water?

It’s probably not the reason for everyone but where I live, tap water has a slightly rancid taste and bottled water used to taste like it was mixed with bleach. I used to not drink water because I thought that all water tasted like that but then we got a cheap water cooler about four or five years ago and the water from it tastes much better. So, I’ve been drinking water from a water cooler ever since.

I’ve lived where tap water tasted like shit, not quite literally but eveytime I went home I’d have to remember not to drink the tap water. Eventually that town got a better water treatment plant but I can sort of see it from that angle. We always had the big 4gallon jugs (again may not be correct but the bigger jugs that sit on top for a dispenser) for regular drinking water
Thankfully where I moved to (many many kms away) the tap water was awesome, don’t live there now but I still do tap water over filtered for the most part. Never seems that much worse so may as well.
Really the only reason you’d drink the other tap water was cause you’re hungover…also been there. Then you remember that there’s a water dispenser somewhere in that house cause no one drank the water from the tap in the town. Even the better water wasn’t great but still noticably improved.
