France = bottled water.
don't know why, but it's true. I drink one bottle a day - 1,5 l (one and a half in my good days). Why? I don't trust the system of distribution of water one bit.
When I'm near the montains or back home, I do drink tap water. I think people need to feel safe and with all the accidents happening these days - polution, factories etc, no one wants to risk anything. Plus with the automatic distribution machines, your choice is between Coca Cola and bottled water. Bottled water responds to other needs than just thirst.
The XXII century consumer feels the need to buy. He won't have it if it's for free or if perceives as being free. The French administration made a campaing about driking tap water, saying that it's 1000 times less expensive than bottled water. I don't know if how effective that was.
