But you can't see it like that everywhere. In our old building the tap water is practically undrinkable

Really there are also in Germany households where the tap water does not meet the health standards ? I drink now for at least 5 years only tap water, which I always mix with some syrup. Have also seen broadcasts where it is claimed that tap water is even healthier than mineral water.

I can imagine that it meets the health requirements, but it tastes awful, which is mainly due to the old pipes of the house. But that will certainly not only be the case with me

Well let's say so water people buy because they need it as a rule therefore that would be a point why it is more expensive on the other hand is still the beautiful with the beer it usually does not remain with one and so from the 0.50 € very quickly 5 € and by the number sold it is worth it again very much



But then it must be really cheap

Water is the nr 1 food
Just looked at how much water you need for ne 0.5 beer, there came out 2.5 l to 3 l water per 0.5 l beer. Let's take Becks a brand beer which I have also drunk at the time and know, since a bottle costs 1.50 euros or something and since alcohol in my eyes is also a drug that makes you physically dependent

So for me this is not okay
Alk must be more expensive


To tap water I can only agree with you, but if I have no water dan I drink tea for the day also OK
Because I trust the pipes of my house also net so quite

A test has once shown that the brand water here in Germany is bad, and winners were the cheap waters of Aldi and Lidl what was also a few cents more expensive
But beer prices remain stable

Here what goes wrong

By the way, to get out of the way of lugging, I can recommend Soda Stream

Beer is far too cheap. In general, beer/alcohol should not be sold in supermarkets, but in specialty stores where there is nothing else

It is incomprehensible that alcohol is treated like a food, although every year thousands die & fall ill from the consequences of alcohol consumption.

You speak to me from the soul, that's exactly how it should be, if you're at the main train station you feel like you're in an open air alk party. Tetra wine or plastic beer which is even cheaper than in the kiosk, important place like the Hbf should be alk ban, people come to our city and think only as they can escape lol na is now over driven but I find our Hbf only disgusting

And I do not want to know how it is in ffm or Berlin... Germany loves its beer and that is probably protected hardcore as the amis with their weapons lobby but alk may not drink there on the street, at least they do it right.

Right. The alcohol lobby in Germany is very strong, unfortunately. Politics could change a lot, if it would be seriously wanted & the health of the people would really be in the first place...

The state doesn't care as long as it can collect tax from it. Is with the cigarettes yes no different. Can you buy in the supermarkets yes and is in my opinion just as bad as alcohol.

Unfortunately, the turnover in the supermarkets is higher and they know that, which is why such liquid stores as in the States will not give us.

In the restaurants etc. you can also ask for tap water. Costs nothing and is harmless in DE depending on the region. Find there the prices are exaggerated anyway. Would never pay for the bottle of San Pellegrino 2 € or more.

There you are even specifically not allowed to drink it on the street because the Americans want to remain a role model and family friendly in this point

Children should not even get to know alcohol as something normal here they run around with a bottle at the age of 14 and at 16 it is then the hard stuff

Jaja the Yanks are already funny nipples and alcohol quite evil but 9 year olds arm super thing
