Imagine drinking that  And it won't do your tea making flavour any good either, so don't fill your teasmaid from your bathroom just to save the walk downstairs  |
On the flip side, if you live in a house with a combi boiler or pressurised hot water system (megaflow or equivilant) then all cold taps in the house are served by main cold water, so safe to drink, and you hot water is instant heat, or in a storage cylinder that is turned over regularly, so unlikly to contain any nasties.

Have you seen the sugar* content though. Worse than a plumbers cuppa
* well it's not really sugar, but high fructose corn syrup which is far worse for you.
