    I'm pretty cool with being forgotten most of the time, especially in general "stir the pot to make people fight over stupid shit instead of building guillotines for the real problem" kinds of stuff.

    But yes, I drank (and do sometimes drink) from garden hoses. It's just tap water delivered with more volume and outdoors.

    Not just garden hose, public lawn sprinklers were also free and available hydrating source. Even when off you could always find some water if you sucked hard enough. Tasted a bit rusty.
    This is before purified wastewater / greywater used for irrigation.
