Here’s the honest, couch-conversation truth: for everyday drinking, go with purified water. Your body needs trace minerals like calcium and magnesium, and your taste buds prefer water that doesn’t feel like it’s judging you. Distilled water is so pure it can actually leach minerals from your body if you chug it all day. It’s the water equivalent of a clean-freak roommate who scrubs the floor so hard it becomes slippery and dangerous.
I once bought distilled water by accident during a camping trip, thinking I was being smart. Two days later, I had a headache and my coffee tasted like regret. My friend laughed and handed me a bottle of purified water, saying, “Here, drink something with a personality.” I never looked back.
