Does anyone still boil their water?

No? It never was a thing here. You just drink it from the tap.

We are lucky..

No, I drink it from the tap. I actually use a filter because of the taste. But when I lived somewhere we couldn't drink it from the tap we just used a carbon filter or bought mineral water.

I either use a filter or buy bottled water.

But for young babies you still need to boil the water, though.

i can understand it if you come from China or another country where the water is unfit for consumption right out of the tap but for me even living in Australia a country where we have the luxury of clean drinkable water i still boil my water before i drink it...

it probably stems from me being chinese and my parents still so as well but yeah anyobe else boil their water prior to consumption

The people who have been around for a minute in my area know not to drink the tap water unless it's reverse osmosis filtered or from a natural source. Regular filters are okay if you don't have a better alternative. Boiling the tap water here won't really do anything.

yes. i like drinking warm water. if i boil it, it stays warmer longer

I've never boiled water to drink it in my entire life....and I've always drank tap water I never buy bottled

even singapore consider water to be able to drink from tap. i still boil the water. some kind of smell in tap water that i dun really like.

altho bottled water readily available here, i still boil water coz my house still use water pump. i feel it's better for the environment too, bottled water cause so much plastic waste.

but when i used to live abroad where i can drink tap water, i only use water filter coz the water tasted a bit funny. the filter solved that problem.

UK. Never boiled water unless it was for tea. Our water is very safe and imo at least tastes better than some type of mineral water

Um no we just have a water filter? Not boiling. A separate water filter.

yep. I only drink boiled or bottled water. even the water i keep in the fridge has to be boiled first. Even though Singapore water is safe to drink the tap water has a kind of taste that I don't like.

We use filter. Can't use tap water coz it's dirty

Yeah I always have, and I have a water purifier.

Plus where I live the flats are old and share a water tank system which can get contaminated so it's best to boil the water anyway.

You still have to boil water for babies also.

Our country have really good tap water quality. There is not any reason to boil it. Imo cold water taste lot better than warm as well.

I dont like tap water, it tastes gross but its safe to drink.

My family drinks from water bottles

yes

I don't really like the taste of boiled water but I used to do it before getting a filter. I'm not risking any kidney stones.

I boil water only to make my tea/coffee to start my day of studying

Only for tea otherwise I just use a filter

I have a water filter that connects to a separate tap, so I don't really boil my water. I just drink the water from that tap.

I am drinking filtered water from different tap directly. but my parents (both Chinese) still drink boiled water, cool or warm, they believe boiled water is healthier. and I found these on line:

The Chinese have been drinking hot water since at least the 4th century B.C. At that time, hot beverages were seen to expel humidity from the body, while cold beverages could, naturally, cool the body down. But not everyone had access to the luxury of fuel for a stove. Thus, hot water was reserved for those who needed it the most, namely pregnant women, the elderly, and the sick.

And so, gradually, there grew to be a connection between health and hot water.

According to ancient Chinese medicine, drinking a glass of warm water in the morning helps kick-start the digestive system. Hot water and warm water, because of its temperature, supposedly aids blood flow. As your blood circulation increases, it helps detoxify your body and reduce painful contractions of muscles. Sore throat? Drink some warm water. Menstrual cramps? Stop drinking cold stuff and switch to some hot water.

On the other hand, cold water slows down organ function and causes muscles to contract.

Some Chinese people also believe that during meals, you shouldn’t be mixing hot food with cold water, as this creates an imbalance of temperature.

No, we don't need to do that here, the water is drinkable.

I either use a filter or buy bottled water.

In our country, water quality sucks so we need to buy water from outside.
