everything is chlorinated. i get painful rash if i ingest chlorinated water, so basically everything was undrinkable. this was also true for soft drinks the time i visited Vegas, so my options for hydration were extremely limited.

Do you mean fluoridated? Was the drinking water really chlorinated?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Typically yes water is chlorinated. By the time it hits your cup, most of it's gone and is save to drink. If you let the water sit out longer, all the chlorine should dissipate.

I think it might depend. Chlorine should, but chloramine doesn't (which I only know because the latter can really mess up home aquariums). Since our water just has chlorine, I leave it out overnight before doing water changes.
