I only drink bottled, mineral water (cheap to do in Thailand. Only 3 baht more than 'drinking water').
I too have heard about 'drinking water'/reverse osmosis water having a low mineral content, hence it doesn't hydrate you fully. This was confirmed to me by a lecturer/researcher at Mahidol university who specialises in water treatment
I used to drink reverse osmosis water and I didn't feel fully hydrated after even large amounts of it, so I tested it versus a mineral water and it felt/tasted very different.
This could all be a placebo effect though, so I'm interested to hear others' views.
