Why do people drink distilled water? I get that there's some taste from the minerals, but I live in a place with hard water and it tastes fine. I've had fancy bottled water and that tastes the exact same if not worse, I drank distilled water and that basically tastes the same too.
I've only heard of people drinking it when they're on a life raft in the middle of the ocean. Is there a new trend I'm unaware of?
Most bottled water comes from a municipal water system somewhere, i.e., is tap water.
Some water supplies have issues with sulfur or algae, so that can be unpleasant if your sense of smell is particularly sensitive. My sense of smell is pretty weak so I drink the tap water most places, while my spouse had an RO system installed in our house due to their sensitivity.
