Seriously guys! It’s drinkable in all EU countries!

Nestlé:

Well, depends on either your definition of "drinkable" or "all" :D

Germany: Takes third option and buys bottled water. Part of the reason is that carbonated water is really popular, and home carbonators are usually kind of difficult/annoying to clean properly. Also, restaurants often won't serve tap water due to greed.

Tap water decreases your microplastic exposure by 90%.

You guys drink donuts?

Not feasible to drink tap water in every EU country though.

The amount of bottled water in the EU is insane, lol. I'd always Google it just to be sure, but the tap water is always drinkable, so I try to do that instead of buying a ton of bottles (or getting them at restaurants. I wish parts of the EU had more water fountains and refill stations for metal water bottles.

I'm guessing it's more of a cultural thing from the postwar reconstruction?

What european water filter do you guys use for tap water ?

I personally use Brita, which is from Germany (and not Britain or Brittany)

In some EU countries it's pretty bad tasting though. Too much chlorine for me to really get used to.

Better for your teef as well.

As a EU citizen I always buy my water bottled instead of from the tap, not only does it taste better.. but my family used to have a water distiller when I was growing up and we sometimes put tap water inside of it and after the distilling process the residue left was disgusting and gooey, even with some rust laced in (this was in the Côte d'Azur for context) in comparison most good quality bottled water just left a trace mineral residue. Safe to say I'd rather drink mineral residue over rust!

I've never lived in a place where the water isn't drinkable, but I've seldom drank from the tap without filtration. Water is so vital to us, it just seems wise to be careful.

Definitely not a German who made this one.

Hydrate bitches!

I'm Canadian, living in Canada. I grew up drinking unfiltered tap water (municipal water) all my life and still do. My tap water has always tasted fine to me and I have no health issue. I prefer my tap water over soda, juices, sport drinks or flavoured water etc, which has too much sugar.

The French might disagree with you.

No it's not, aside from a few select countries like the Netherlands, it stinks of bleach just like the USA. It's clean yes, but it smells like a pool

Or Kofola! They also have it from the tap

Water is, unironically, my favourite drink on this earth.
