Draining the tank only does so much good. At least for my tank several quarts of water are left behind. I would have to tilt the RV to get more out and even then the water left behind and the moist environment would grow bacteria and mold.
I have no problem drinking water from the RV tank. Mine is properly sanitized at the start of use and periodically if not used. I drink water from the tank. It is just as reliable as water from any water fountain or other supply. I do use a Britta filter in the RV and at home I have a whole house filter, which probably does little, and a final charcoal filter. Even those are overkill.
Many people seem to drink nothing but bottled water. Sadly the quality of bottled water is often worse than simple household tap water. There is typically less regulation and less testing of bottled water. Much of it is just filter tap water. Storage does not help the purity.
