I buy bottled water by the case for two reasons. First, I live in an area with hurricanes. If our water is turned off, I need safe drinking water on hand. Second, I like the way Aquafina tastes, and it ALWAYS tastes the same. My tap water has an odd taste sometimes. I don’t think it’s harmful, I just don’t care for it. It’s my money. Bottled water is better for me than coke.

Okay, this makes sense. We have a standing case of bottled water in case we have an earthquake (it’s part of our preparedness box). We use/donate/refresh the comestibles every 2 years. But we don’t use the bottles regularly.

Yes, bottled is way better than soda, however I think you might get good and consistent drinking water from your tap by getting a filter/ionizer, or even by just getting a Brita pitcher. For me, it’s just a ton easier to grab a glass of water from the tap or a pitcher from the tap instead of finding a bottle and recycling a pile of the darn things every week. Your mileage may vary.
