But it's a risk. Why take the risk when you can avoid it by having a bottle of water? You're rolling the dice every time because why? It's convenient?

    It was the 80s. There was no bottled water and I'm perfectly healthy as an adult so obviously it was fine.

    The bottled water industry exploded during the 80s, that's when it became big. But even without that, a canteen is a thing.

    Lol, thinking you're healthy now so it has no impact is a little silly. That not always how long term exposure presents itself. But either way, you might not have been ok. I can play Russian roulette and win 100 times, it doesn't make playing it any less dumb. I wouldn't brag about how I played Russian roulette 100 times and won, it just makes me look like a lucky idiot.

    @Lightor @teft heavily depends on the country and even the city. In my region it's rare for people to drink from bottles at all. We're fine btw

    I was curious so I looked and this is the first thing I found, didn't seem promising.

    The lack of drinking water is not a new problem. Residents have been living like this since 17 April 2023, when Andalucía’s government declared the tap water unfit for human consumption.
