Anybody who ever thought drinking the same damn water from a plastic water that comes from the tap in your house was somehow preferable is an idiot. The western world has access to the safest drinking water that mankind has ever had access to and we frick around and put it in plastic bottles for the sake of convenience. My kids will not touch tap water...but I refill the 5 gallon water jug on the water cooler in the kitchen from the tap and they will drink it dry. They are the norm. There are places all over the country where you can bottle your own water from the same damned municipal source in your home and folks are convinced its better.

What's bad about those?

Your crazy ex is sort of correct. You definitely should try to avoid drinking out of plastic water bottles that have been stored in hot places.
Yes, but once the bottle gets hot enough the shed plastic particulate remains in the drink indefinitely.

Most modern plumbing systems deliver water to the tap via a plastic pipe. Dated systems may well deliver it via a copper pipe with lead solder. The trouble with bottled water ain't the plastic, its the same water that comes from a tap on a municipal source. All of the spring, mountain, glacier bull shite is just that, bull shite. It comes from a municipal water system in an industrial setting and is shipped in all manner of ill ways to your door. Just turn on the tap.

We should have stuck with glass for all our bottling needs.

Cellulose is a linear carbon based polymer not unlike common plastics. Your pharmacy has shelves of cellulose for improved digestion.

Did they do research so see if there were nano particles of glass in water from a glass bottle? I would assume there would be these particles from any source container
I think you’re assuming incorrectly. Glass is much more inert than plastic

only buy water in glass or cans. Figure my near ancestors consumed so much beer, etc that way and they seemed to be ok.
You know what water never touched plastic storage containers? Tap

Much of the plastic seems to be coming from the bottle itself.

Yes it does. However most of that plastic pipe doesn’t experience the heat or UV light that these commercial bottles experience and the water is on those pipes for a significantly shorter amount of time than most of the bottles that are stored for days, weeks, or months.

Glass bottles and instead of high fructose corn syrup in soft drinks use cane sugar. We had it right for decades and fricked it up.
Also should have stuck with paper bags instead of plastic at grocery stores
Small things like this id support going back to its better for the environment as far as trash goes (glass easily recycled and paper biodegrades) and it reduces the need for petrochemicals. I don’t understand why we focus on eliminating burning fossil fuels for energy and instead focus on reducing other products that use petrochemicals that can be easily replaced without screwing up the economy

Buying bottled water is dumb unless you’re traveling. Just put a filter on the tap and you’re good to go

Scientist also discovered 250k invisible nano poop particles in ancient sheep bladder canteens.

Is that why those damn Nestle plastic water bottles in Afghanistan tasted like arse?

They didn't even name the source companies, and they clearly didn't compare the water in the bottles to the water prior to bottling.
What a farcical study. It's a shame so many will fall for this shite.

Nano particles are still better for you than dying from dehydration in the desert

None of us is going to live forever, and I have just as many reservations about Louisiana tap water as I do with bottled water.
Ultimately, from a historical and global perspective our water is very safe.
As far as shite to worry about goes, it’s pretty low on my list.
