    I find the one in the CS building has the best tasting water. The one in Newman is disgusting.

    /edit: and tap water is drinking water.

    What's wrong with tap water?

    No no no, drinking water is for drinking, tap water is for tapping! ;)

    Ask anyone who's worked in the Dublin City Waterworks Department - my wife spent a summer job there when we were students, and now only drinks bottled water - and we don't even live in Dublin anymore!

    The one outside B1.09 in CS is fine to drink, the water doesn't taste like ass from that one like it does from some others around college.

    The one in the library isn't too bad, but i might have to hunt out the one in cs. The arts building one is *vile*

    There's a Ballygowan cooler in Roebuck, complete with those little disposable plastic cups.

    I love the way the one's in engineering are behind the toilets

    Meh, I drink it anyway.
    I never got this whole "ooo if you knew about Irish water... Ooo" and thats basically all thats said. OH IF ONLY WE KNEW. But I haven't got sick yet, bigs up the immune system so ya know, I won't be switching.

    I love the one on the library's 4th floor. Ooo cold

    I posted a complaint/suggestion thing ones explaining the coldness:deliciousness ratio of the drinking water, and complaining that the 1st floor fountain's lack of coldness, relative to the 4th was costing me a lot of time in procrastination...

    I think they fixed it, ultimately. The 1st floor one is at least chilled now, if not as icy as its counterpart.
