    The best drink is water

    Refreshing, healthy, and universally appealing. Although city tap water is nasty (where I live). It tastes like stale pool water. Well water is delicious though. Tastes fresh, clean, and a little metallic, but I dont mind. Some people dislike the metallic taste, but I think I actually like it. Its a lot better than stale nasty pool water taste.

    Water is also the base for many other beverages. What else do you make your tea with? Or coffee?

      And if you’re going to buy bottled water, buy mineral water. Mineral water is (generally, in most places) a protected term, it has to come from a registered source and the mineral content is monitored to verify this. Everything else, “mountain water”, “spring water”, or whatever is just a marketing term; it’s just the same tap water that everyone in the location of that factory gets it from (while also depleting that local source sometimes before the locals can get it).

      Mineral water is so good they tax that shit. But your own tap water, from a clean supply, maybe with a bit of extra filtering - that’s what you want to look for when settling down.
