The flight attendants on planes try to help you be more comfortable by providing what you might want or need. They usually offer a beverage. There is soda, coffee, water and sometimes other things. You should apparently not take water even if that’s what you normally drink. This explains why. Water is usually a great beverage choice but this will make you think twice about it. On planes you should try to find another drink.

Key Takeaways:

• Drink bottled water on the plane instead of water from the water tank.
• The EPA does not set clear regulations on how often the water tanks should be cleaned, and so they probably aren’t washed out often enough.
• Coliform, a bacteria found in feces, was found in the water tanks in 1 out of 10 commercial planes in the US.

“Don’t forget that it is important to stay hydrated during a flight.”
