haven't had alcohol in years but not gonna lie every now and then I feel for a Magnum, not sure if they have those in your neck of the woods? delicious dessert in a bottle with some energy boosters and way too many cals but god damn it was tasty

if you haven't had one and can find it, try it! think it would be classified as a 'digestif' for you high-falutin' foodie types. also goes well with pussy

don't buy bottled (try to minimize plastic use) and don't even boil it at home. same with when I lived in BZ

everywhere I've visited/brief-term lived except the DR and Guatemala was fine either straight up or with boiling

Belize and JA for long term living, zero issues from tap or even upstream river water not near the mines

one exception TCI for long term living. there the water was orange and smelled and tasted like burning hair. NO ONE drank from the tap and boiling not enough. if you drank it your throat burned

instead we'd get these free (and were reusable) 10 gallon jugs and fill 'em up for 50 cents USD at water stations. when I was new there remember it being such a cool place to make friends. also excellent for muscle strength/toning cuz my husband complained constantly about hauling it about. yeah, sometimes a PITA but I liked it

most expats usually just did bottled, didn't know or care what they spent. was just happy locals and local-side temp workers had affordable access in reusable jugs cuz tap water not even a choice. even washed my face and rinsed out my hair with jug water


I woulda thought Spain would have potable water? was there so many moons ago for a few weeks (had such a wicked time) during a Euro road-trip summer and maybe I drank bottles? was honestly too long ago to recall. your post surprised me though

20 cents per L ain't bad at all, not anywhere near cigarette prices which is my comparable for most things


happy drinking everyone
