There is a slight issue…there was a time when a lot of spigots were made with brass containing high levels of lead.

The amount of exposure from infrequent, or even sparodic use over several year, is more than likely nothing to worry about though.

Even still, when shopping for a spigot, you’ve got to be careful. A lot are marked “Non-Potable Use” for that reason.

Also I feel something is gross about drinking from places we don’t usually drink from. Like we use different cleaning products there and we clean them less frequently, and they seem inferior to me as a result. Especially the bathroom sink. Like someone just pooped three feet away from it a couple hours ago and then touched the thing and uuuuuggggghhhh.

Yeah I mean you should probably just drink from the normal tap if it's not inconvenient to do so, and I do get the ick factor. Just saying it probably isn't very different for any interior faucet, and only marginally so for an outside spigot.
