I hold an empty 12oz glass under an American kitchen sink faucet and turn on the "cold" water. The glass fills and I turn off the tap, none drips into the sink itself. If I drink this glass of water, typically how many more bacteria am I consuming as opposed to a factory-sealed 12oz bottle of water?
