Reusing plastic bottles

[titch]

Is it actually bad, or just a load of paranoid rubbish?

I normally buy a big bottle of water on Monday then reuse it daily with tap water till friday... Am I going to die then :you_crazy

where in blue blazes did you get told it was bad for you?

plastic drinks bottles are made to handle coke or "soda" as yanks call it, which is basically a dilute solution of phosphoric acid. They contain this substance perfectly without leaching out toxic chemicals. Putting water into them isn't going to turn the water into poison...

Maybe it might have been some older fear back in the day where the quality was shit. Im sure "plastic" hasn't always been as well made. Interesting tale though =D

I usually buy a bottle of water on a monday and reuse the bottle during the week. I think it's a tall tale, there's nothing wrong with me (other than being completely mental but i don't think you can blame the bottle for that) Anyway getting back to it, Bicycles for fish.

the new zealand govt link gives the most accurate and sensible advice TBH.....

There are probably worse chemicals coming in via the systems of Thames / Anglian / Essex and Suffolk water than are coming from the container anyway...

Im watching that. Missed the first half.

Chatting bollox like usual...

"Theyre either natural or made by chemicals"

As opposed to anything else?

Cos they love scaring people. I always try and do the opposite if what 'they' tell us to.

Don't smoke - i smoke shitloads, Don't drink and drive - I do it all the time, Always use a condom - No way, Be nice to your fellow man - Fuck off, Fuck em, that's what i say.

[DJCliffy]

if you reuse plastic bottles, ur bound to get swine flu

[DJCliffy]

Well seeing as plastic bottles have been covered what about reusing condoms? Surely if you gave em a quick rinse out they'd be safe to use wouldn't they? Even if you broke em, bit of glue, happy days.
