Do you still drink bottled water?

With all the waste in plastic bottles, do you still drink bottled water? if you stopped do you still drink as much water?

Occasionally if I'm at work, and have forgotten to bring my big reusable water bottle from home, I'll buy a disposable plastic bottle from the vending machine at work. BUT, if I do so I use it for about a week and just keep refilling it in the water fountains.

At home, I stopped using bottled water a little over a year ago, and instead bought a Brita filter to attach to the faucet. I drink the same amount of water (which is a lot) and am saving a ton of money. I JUST replaced the filter probably 2 months ago, so I got near a year's worth of drinking water for the cost of a $25 filter, as opposed to paying that much a MONTH for bottled water.

I don't buy it anymore, but I do drink it. A friend gave us a case recently; once in awhile my kids will forget their Camelbak Better Bottles and there aren't drinking fountains or cups at their ballet school, so I'll buy them a bottle of water next door at the grocery.

I just got a filtering water bottle for our water cooler at home, too. I really would like not to contribute to this:

I still drink them when I really am thirsty or in need of water. I ussually just tend to use the same bottle over and over again though instead of buying a new bottle. The water tastes the same to me, its cheaper, and I'm not throwing away a ton of plastic so I ussually just tend to use the same bottle.

I buy it when I'm out and about. However, I try to buy bottled water that has an alkaline level for 7.0 or higher.

When not out and about, I have filtered water of a ph of 9.5 and drink nearly a gallon a day.
