At home, do you drink tap water or bottled water?

At home, do you drink tap water or bottled water? How about when you are at other people’s homes? Do you find they tend to hand you a bottle of water, or tap water in a glass?

I ask because bottled water is so common, where I live. People drink it in their homes. When I visit friends, they will often hand me a bottle of water instead of a glass of tap water. I will hardly ever buy bottled water, except when I’m out. For home, it’s tap water.

A few weeks ago, my daughter had her two friends over (ages 9 and 12). My daughter went to get a drink of water from the kitchen sink, and the 9 year old friend looked at her with amazement and said “you drink tap water?”
