We will install water filters or drink bottled water

Tap water is completely drinkable. During my student days, every time I played soccer, I would drink tap water directly without any problem. However, everyone was more cautious and still maintained the habit of drinking boiled water

直接喝自来水会拉稀，喝多了肯定会生病。

自来水是可以饮用的，只不过TDS值多数还是会有100-300，现在的年轻人倾向喝净化过的自来水或者瓶装水。但是，喝煮沸过的自来水并没有问题，喝没有加热过的自来水的人比较少，因为自来水里面有加氯消毒，加热可以去除自来水中的氯。

I have studied in New York, Boston, and Delaware. 1. First of all, let's talk about the habit of drinking hot water, regardless of water quality and source. Ancient Chinese people did not widely use hot water in their daily lives because they were limited by the level of utensils and resources, and only used it in the daily life of households with better living conditions, when drinking tea or in cold weather; Mainly formed during the patriotic hygiene movement before and after the Korean War to resist bacterial warfare, the country advocated drinking boiled water to sterilize and disinfect. Due to the development of industrialization, it was already different from ancient times where water bottles, heat sources, etc. could be easily obtained. At this time, the source of "raw water" still came from natural water sources (well water, drinking water). Since then, there has been a distinction between "raw water" and "boiled water" among the people, which has developed a habit of drinking boiled water, health preservation, and taste, which will be discussed later.

If staying in a hotel in China, the majority of the faucets in the hotel are for tap water rather than direct drinking water. You can choose to take water from the hotel's public water collection point (such as the front desk direct drinking machine or large bucket water dispenser) and drink bottled water; If visiting relatives and staying at their homes, there is usually purified drinking water or large barrels of water available for use; If traveling outdoors, drink bottled water or find public drinking water; The faucets in public restrooms are all tap water, which we usually do not drink directly. They are only used for hand washing, but they are municipal treated water that is not toxic when consumed. However, except for emergency situations, they are only used for hand washing and washing things, similar to the faucets in restrooms such as hotels in the East Coast. Drinking hot water is another matter of habit and preference.

水质好的地区烧开喝，水质不好的地区像我们家装净化器过滤一遍再烧开喝，更讲究点的家庭买纯净水喝

我们因为日本和美国在战争期间投放细菌病毒而养成了不喝没有烧开的水的习惯

自来水并不干净烧开了也一样，瓶装水还好有一点微甜

说起烧水喝，那原因还得从美国和日本说起
