I filter my tap water ........ here in Detroit we supposedly have some of the best tasting tap in the country . But if you drink filtered for a while you'll see it's like drinking pool water. over clorinated. disgusting.

Keep in mind that bottle water has less stringent requirements than tap water. After you get used to tap water, it becomes no big deal to drink it.

Ok, you make a point. But you don't offer a solution. Are you at all worried about the huge waste of resources, that comes with using bottled water. That is take 5 liters of water to produce each litre of bottled water, or is this the price you pay for being a water snob?

Who drinks a gallon of water a day? And if you're just doing a cost-benefit analysis, the price of these straws $15 / ~20-40 gallons far outweighs the cost of bottled water.

Daniel, I agree. Our water sucks. Even super cheap bottled water down at the local Aldis (a store that specializes in generic brand groceries) tastes infinitely better than our tap. I mean, come on -- there is only so much beer I can drink to make up for it :-)

40 or 50 gallons is not that much. At 1 gallon per person per day, that's not even 2 months not even close to a year. I buy reverse osmosis filtered water at my grocery store for 30 cents / gallon. Comes out to about the same cost per gallon as a lifestraw, but and is preferable than sucking on the same straw as every one else in my household.

I have no strong feelings about bottled water. However, if you still want to give it up, you should try this: http://www.waterstraws.com/</p>

Apparently they're good for up to 40 gallons, which should be good for about a year of drinking. I've never used one, but they sound cool.
