I think they have to be #3 to be reusable........water bottles are #1. The number should be on the bottom of the container.ST240 said:Ive heard that refilling bottles that you originally buy as "bottled water", are not healthy to refill with water or any other drink for that matter because it breaks down the plastic and when you drink from it, the plastic goes into your system.
Is this true?

PreMier said:Would you use a glass for several days before washing it?
Psch91 said:Uhm, the glass im drinking out of right now has been used for the past week without washing...as did the other glass this one replaced, and so on. I dont find it a problem.

When bottled water plastics are not handled properly, potentially carcinogenic compounds may leach out of the bottle plastic into the drinking water.
According to the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) however, all the plastics listed above are in containers intended for one- time use only, in a cool, room environment.
The reuse of these containers is done at the consumer's own risk. Over time, these plastics may lose integrity due to heat, ultraviolet light, and manual squeezing pressure on the outside of the bottle. Cracks or leaks can develop in the plastic surface. These defects may leach harmful chemicals into the bottled water.

MWpro said:When I find the article I will post it, so far I have been unable to find it again. She died from the bacteria due to her reusing it for a long period of time.
CowPimp said:Just reuse the water bottles. That sounds like a crock of shit to me.
MWpro said:This has nothing to do with biodegrading, but instead chemicals leaching from the plastic into the water. Biodegrading is a completely different thing.
The bottom line is that leaching can occur, even if there is no scientific link between conditions and reusing a water bottle. Also the bacteria is an issue, even with cleaning. Not too long ago a girl died from constantly reusing the same water bottle.
JUST BUY A REUSABLE SPORTS WATER BOTTLE THAT WAS MEANT FOR CONSTANT REUSE, you cheap fuckers
People have also died from having vending machines fall over on them, with that being said I really dont see myself staying away from them due to overwhelming fear.MWpro said:When I find the article I will post it, so far I have been unable to find it again.
