The latter is yet another reason to ask for tap water in restaurants. It's probably fine but besides the uncertainty of what the plastics and additives do to a person, might as well not have more plastic bottles be produced, leech into the far-transported water, and then have to be disposed of responsibly. I usually explicitly request they write it up as a normal water price and just bring me a glass of tap

Restaurants charge for tap water where you are?

Yes, in Europe it's standard to charge for tap water. I don't think I ever got water in restaurant for free in Europe (I'm European).
