Default Bottled Water!

It's bad enough walking down any street in North America when about 50% of people are carying bottles of liquid (happening in the UK as well now) but to have them all, in the house, clutching their bottles 24/7 just seems ridiculous! Same goes for the BedSit!

water is a natural apetite suppressant, also is something to do to stop most of them smoking probably. I carry water but fill a bottle up from the tap

It's good for you! You are meant to drink (I think) 8 pints of water a day... I carry a bottle of water with me, it's great if you are on a diet (as most celebs are constantly) as the water bloats you & you don't feel hungry... Plus in the BB house with the air conditioning it dehydrates you...

Between 2 and 3 litres a day for your average adult is good.

As a weight lifter at my bodyweight i should be drinking around 3.5 litres to 4.

I carry a bottle with me everywhere i go, always to the gym, to work, out to my firends house, long jouneys in the car etc..
Even if im just going for a walk with the dog.

Its tap water in a lucozade sport bottle though lol.

Id not buy water.

Terrible for the enviroment its irresponsible plus beside the waste most people are also ignorant to the fact that oil is used to produce plastic bottles.

Bottled water is nicer than water from the taps in my area

I don't care if it looks daft or seems naive

Quit peeing on water, so maybe we don't need bottled water after that...

Not really no as plastic bottles still consume natural resources to produce whether they be pte or pet.

I usually refill empty bottles with tap water. Luckily Portsmouth Water comes from natural springs that have been filtered through the chalk of the south downs, it is apparently one of the best "tap" waters in Europe as it is basically mineral water. Also because it needs virtually no treatment it is the cheapest water in the UK, though it does make your kettle scale up

Drinking too much water is bad for you. It thins your blood stream diluting oxygen in the blood stream.

About 2 - 3 L of water is good for you.

I bet you believe global warming is down to humans entirely and that we'll be out of energy by 2020. Look at all the oil that got pumped into the Gulf of Mexico, theres hardly a shortage

If your kettle "scales" up your water is full of LIME!

LOL! It's limescale, not lime! Because of the chalk the water is filtered through... Meaning we are in a "hard water" area... Perfectly safe...
