Explosive Misanthropy Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I cannot drink water....I taste metal, dirt, battery acid, chlorine, sulfur, and other varies things one shouldn't taste in water... Every time I drink water, I gag, or have a hard time swallowing.... it just tastes so disgusting to me... Is that weird? does anyone have this same problem or know what's wrong with me? I also taste it in Purified, spring, and all bottled waters, it's not just tap. But for some reason, shower water has always tasted sweet to me..... But I don't drink it...

Explosive Misanthropy Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 That's even worse, I hate alcohol.... it all tastes like rubbing alcohol.... on top of that, I dont get drunk. Not because I choose not to, more like, I physically can't... or it's real hard to.
Weirdy Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 why not buy drinking water from a place that sells it and then run it through a brita or other purifier?
Gryph Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 She says she tastes it in bottle water too. That's weird. I mean there are metals and crap in water but no one really tastes it.
Explosive Misanthropy Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Belthasar says he tastes it too, it just doesn't bother him like it bothers me.... But I taste it to where I can't stand it at all.... and it leaves the taste of whatever the water has in it, in my mouth.... I really hate it... People have said it was because I was malnourished... but I seriously doubt that. My sister said that I taste it because it's what my body needs.... I said, "My body needs battery acid!? WTF?!"
Ryuken Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 get used to it and then u won't taste it anymore so drink loads of water everyday
TempesT Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Go to a doctor? Maybe there's something wrong with your tongue... ?
cody56 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 That's really weird, no offense or anything. I'd go to the doctor.
Krosigrim Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 get used to it and then u won't taste it anymore so drink loads of water everydayThats what I tell her, she used to when she did construction work on pools. But she says she still tastes it. I do taste it in water, "it" as in everything.... I bet I can tell you what brand of purified water you are handing me in a blind taste test. But I just thought that was normal...She on the other hand can't stand it. The problem is... water has no taste... so it takes on whatever is in it... Even smell ionized air??? it has a strange dead smell... or something... this weird smell. All they do is ionize the air, to remove crap, but it leaves this horrible odor... I believe, that if you did a process with water, it would have the same effect. I can taste crap in water.... especially when I don't drink it often... which is bad. But when I get on a water kick... I don't really notice it. Right now, thinking about it, my mouth is watering, with a slight metallic taste... just like with tap water. Funny thing is I know just what she is talking about with the sweet taste, in shower water. Water... which is the basis of life, is what your body needs. When you drink anything else, your body has to separate it to use the water, and then has to flush the remainder out.... WITH water. It takes 6 equal cups of water, to effectively flush out 1 cup of soda. So think about that if your a soda nut. I'm going to get back to drinking water alot, and I'll make her drink it too. Then well see what is up after a few weeks of that.
Sonic Likes Chili Dogs Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) I sometimes have a problem when i drink water that i feel something is stuck to the back of my throat when my throat isnt even sore so i dont know if you have that problem but i occasionally do Edited January 20, 2008 by Sonic Likes Chili Dogs
OverlordMondo Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I've actually studied water treatment. Water definitely gets a unique taste from the things that are in it. At a treatment plant, you don't just remove everything in the water. Part of the process is leaving things in the water to give it a taste the public agrees with. So it's 100% natural that you would taste metals in tap water. Purified water may just not be completely purified, or it may be some sort of psychological thing, where you expect to taste the metals, so you do.
Inky Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 meh water is water. I drink it from the tap and well it tastes like...... water. bottled water is one of the biggest scams ever conceived.
