“What happened?” I asked, trying not to laugh.
He pointed at the glass. “It tasted weird. Like… metal and soap.”
I couldn’t help but smirk. “Maybe it’s finally time to walk those extra ten steps to the kitchen?”
He sighed, defeated. “Fine. You win. But next time, I’m keeping a water bottle by the bed.”
Problem solved.
The Final Verdict
While bathroom tap water may not make you sick right away, it’s generally not recommended for drinking—especially if your home has old plumbing, storage tanks, or hard water issues.
Kitchen water is treated, circulated, and meant for consumption. Bathroom water is better suited for brushing your teeth or washing your face.
So next time you’re tempted to grab a midnight sip from the bathroom sink, remember: convenience isn’t worth the risk of what’s lurking in those pipes.
As for my husband? He now keeps a refillable bottle on his nightstand—and proudly claims it was his idea all along.
