This is a valid concern if you're a foreigner. Two counterpoints though if you're Indian
1. This is not much of a concern if you're Indian. I regularly drink from restaurants and other places when I travel and I don't get sick.
2. I carry a bottle which I fill regularly when I eat and use that instead of buying bottles.
- rootusrootus 7y agoMy Indian experience is quite limited (I almost never go anywhere but Hyderabad), but I was under the impression that locals mostly don't drink the water either? Something like 20% do, if I remember correctly (which is questionable). Certainly none of the developers in our office there admit to it. For whatever that's worth, which ain't much. The limited research I've seen from Indian sources suggests that, at least in Hyderabad, it remains a problem. Some of the contamination is related to human feces, but some of it is non-biological and probably not something you can really develop a tolerance for. May not make you immediately ill, but not something to drink if you don't have to.
- talonx 7y agoThe place you drink at also matters. Some restaurants, even small places, keep packaged water cans and serve water from there these days.
