Because if you're vomiting and diarrhea-ing, you're losing a lot of water. You need hydration.

You probably have a fever, which dehydrates your body.

Also; american tap water is safer to drink than most water. You'll be perfectly fine if you drink it.

It's not the government that does it, it's the water treatment plant operators that do it!

[Alyx Vance]

It depends on how good your water place purifies it. Here the water isn't drinkable at all.

[Blocklandian¹]

Actually, Tap water is only safe to an extent, It's still exposed to various chemicals.

When I used to drink water, I felt so energetic. Now that I usually drink 1 or 2 cans of pop a day, I don't.

During osmosis they put chemicals and stuff in it?!

it's chlorine and it's to keep parasites from living in the water. Tap water in the united states is safe to drink, it's treated piss water that has had chlorine put into it to keep organisms from living in it. REMEMBER, tap water is safe to DRINK. DO NOT, AT ANY POINT, PUT TAP WATER IN ANY OTHER ORIFICE. putting tap water up your nose or in your ass can result in nasty diseases that withstand the chlorine, but not your stomach acids.

People drink Gatorade and/or soda instead of water.

Both drinks do not hydrate as much as water. In fact, those drinks probably hydrate you 10-25% as much as plain old water.
