Normal garden hoses are not food rated. I just don't like the rubbery taste. Although, who as a kid hasn't drank from the garden hose.
I was wondering if anyone was going to make that point and am glad you did. I too drank from a garden hose (that was not new either) and also directly from the spigot. Water tasted okay and I am not dead yet. Even as a middle aged adult I still have a quick drink from the hose if I am outside working on a hot day.
To the OP -- if the hose is new and is not mixed up with a hose you use for other stuff then it is fine.
I say this because I have a standard garden hose I use for the long run to my sewer cleanout whenever my RV is home. That I would not drink from. ;)
