Stop drinking out of the toilet again and things will return to normal!

Inside your toilet tank is a 1-inch plastic tube that sticks up to almost the top of the tank. This tube goes directly to the bowl. When you flush the toilet, a 1/4-inch rubber tube that's attached to the top of the 1-inch tube injects water into the 1-inch tube to fill the bowl back up after the flush.
The 1/4-inch tube may not be directed completely down the 1-inch tube anymore. Or, it may be cracked at the connection point at the flush valve to where it doesn't have the correct flow to refill the bowl like it used to.
With the toilet tank lid off, flush the toilet and see if the 1/4-inch tube is flowing properly and is directed down the 1-inch tube. If it's not directed correctly, reattach it so that it does. If it has low flow, check the connection at the flush valve (it just slips onto a little nipple on the side of the valve). If the 1/4-inch tube is damaged, you can get a toilet repair kit at a home improvement store for about $15 that includes a new rubber tube.

The water level in your toilet does not depend on the amount of water that is comming into your house. It only depends on the amount of water the tank can hold and the way it's designed, as well as the sanitary pipes (whether or not lots of water is flowing ie. people using lots of water). What DOES depend on the main water line pressure is how fast (or slow) your toilet fills up. If it takes a long time, then maybe your state has decreased the main waterline pressure in order to save some water.

I personally wouldn't judge wether I'm in a drought or not by the water level in the toilet; but hey! Maybe it works!

That has nothing to do with it. And yes ,we are. If you want to bring the level of water up,put a gallon of water or a brick in the tank. (carefully) This also has nothing to do with it, but don't ever put drain cleaner in a toilet,it could explode in your face.

Depends on where you live. Our draught broke this summer.
But a drought should affect how much water is in your toilet.

If your water level is that low, we must be in the middle of a drought. You and Punxsutawney Phil are my absolute barometers for meterological conditions.

If outside pressure (atmosphere) is lower than pipe's, the water level could go higher.
Probably your local authorities made some changes on water pressure, if they decreased it too much, then outside pressure could be higher than pipes, causing the water level to decrease.

i dont think you should be judging whether or not u r having a natural disaster based on the level of water in your toilet
it may be that u have just set it to that level. depending on the toilet, there is a level of water you can set to have in your toilet

That means there's a leak of pranchscramium acid in your toilet. Don't sit in it or you might get Michael Jackson's face tattooed in your bum permanently, due to the action of the acid.
