Although distilled water is technically safe to drink, it is stripped of any minerals and electrolytes that we still exist in most filtered waters. This can make the taste pretty bland, and for some people supplemental electrolytes are recommended. There's filtered water (and distilled water) just about everywhere on SXM.

And should you happen to be using ShopnDrop/Jeannie Gee for grocery prestocking, she offers it on her website.
