Is rainwater safe to drink?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) April 20th, 2010

My grandmother use to live in the country and they collected rainwater to drink. they were healthy people and to my knowledge never suffered any adverse effects from it. i can see my grandmother taking a dipper of water from an oak barrel and taking a drink. this was years ago. do people still do this today and is rainwater safe to drink?
