Water

Do not drink the tap water, buy bottled water from a high street shop or water seller. 

If you buy water from a vendor, check the security ring on the bottle. Do not buy water if the ring is not sealed to the cap. Do not buy water in class bottles unless it is in a restaurant. A Glass bottle may not have been pasteurized.

Do not drink from rivers or ponds. They may harbor pollutants and parasitic worms.

Bottled or canned drinks are far safer than water. If you don't like the sight of the shops bottled water then purchase a canned fizzy drink.
