Answers:
nah theres a small chance it may be acid rain. But it really depends on the area you live in, NY and LA, don't try it, but if you live in a very rural area, id try it, and hey you save on water. OMGosh i almost forgot, one time i was watching x-files and this guy swallowed a raindrop and mutated into a blood-sucking chupacavra, wich is scarey alien, monster thingy. I know its just a tv show but you never know.

PS yellow raindrops are bad, evil!!!

No,,it collects the pollutants & chemicals in the air.

NO NO NO
don't touch that water
but if you are set on drinking it, boil it first at least

if you're willing to take the risk of acid rain and pesticides and all that messing with your rainwater. personally i don't think it's okay. but then again i think we all drank rainwater at one point or another when we were kids, right?

Always!

Hey, you ever seen the rain comin' down, Sunny Day?

Of course how do you think we drink it in the country ??

umm no its not purified

no

Yes. But filter it before you drink. It will taste different since it will not have any of the dissolved salts that our potable water contains.

i think it is danger bcoz nowadays, so many air polution occur. rain contain chemical substances like sulphur. it will be acidic solution, sulphuric acid

If I was to drink it from a collection barrel I would filter it with one of the modern filter pitchers that you can buy almost anywhere.

They make a couple different levels of filters.

well yes and no if it has leaked from the top of a house then no but if it is straight from the sky yes u can drink it even if it is from the plants that is fine to

actually its good drinking water of rain but nowadays as you might be knowing about increas in pollution so u shouldnt drink water of rain but u can drink water of rain after purifying it by boiling the water

I think I saw roofs that collected rainwater in the Bahamas.
