Remember Penn & Teller's Bullshit where they did bottled water? Yeah.
That said, however, when I was a kid (I must've been 16) our family vacationed at Glacier National Park. My father and I would take some long-ish hikes into the mountains. Just the two of us. Usually it was a morning adventure - about 10 miles, but on a couple of occasions we did an all-day sucker.
One of my clearest memories is drinking water directly from a glacier-fed mountain stream. I can't put my finger on it, but it was delightfully cold, rich and refreshing. That water tasted SO DAMN GOOD!
Of course, now I'd never do it, giardia being a real concern.

Interesting. In Alaska many died of thirst next to glacial rivers because they could not drink that water. It had too much silt in it. They were gray and cloudy.
