    Personally, I drink nothing but pure grain alcohol and rain water.

    Because it makes your teeth stronger !

    The jury is still out tho that it's also a poison therefore some countries don't have it in their drinking water. I think what you do find then is their toothpaste contains MUCH more than our toothpaste to compensate, I think.

    Because Irish teeth need all the help they can get.

    it's a conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

    When I was in Primary School, We used to get it weekly in a triangle cup and had to gargle for 5mins. It was the most vile tasting sh1t in hell. Apparently it is responsible for high cases of Autism and Cancer.

    I like flouride. I like the taste, plus it makes your teeth nice and strong.

    Don't get me started on the chlorine that they add. Some reckon that's way worse. While it may help teeth, Flouride has been implicated in making bones weaker.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Tastes so bad too, I've taken to putting vinegar in my water to cover it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    for a while there i was getting some nasty headaches. didn't know wtf it was. switched to bottled water and amazingly the headaches went away.

    i drink a lot of water through the day though

    for the past several years i have been getting a bad taste from the tap water in my home,the rest of my family dont seem to be able to taste it but i can even taste it when presented with two cups of water one of which is bottled water and im unaware which is which untill i taste.its not just my home,i get the same taste in other houses in my area.i have to buy bottled water for tea as i can really detect it in tea but when cooking food i cant really taste it unless its in gravy and i cant taste it in coffee.been buying 10 bottles a week of tesco's cheapest bottled water which is around 40cent a bottle.anyone know what could be causing the taste? its a slightly metalic/bitter taste

    Its a commie-nazi conspiricy to destroy our will to resist


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭rsynnott


    Because only non-nuclear nations can safely use it. Obviously.

    ^^ It could be the hardness of the water in your area, or it could be the flouride, or you could be a weirdo :D

    Try getting a water filter, see if that helps.

    used a filter jug before and did no good.

    Flouride is so 5 years ago.
    Haven't you heard the results of the latest study. It has shown Dihydrogen Monoxide to be a much more potent killer

    I pass all my water through a homeless person before drinking it.

    It's the only way to be absolutely sure!
