Stop drinking from plastic water bottles!

[Disco Potato]

It's not like every single country in the world has drinkable tap water. Go anywhere in Europe and the chances are that you will be encouraged to drink cleaner bottled water.

Same in Asia. Many people in this thread, especially those that claim only idiots drink bottled water, seem to be taking it for granted that their tap water is clean. Bacteria(the harmful kind at least)-free tap water in Pakistan is nonexistent - you either boil, then refrigerate the tap water, or buy big cartons of bottled water, where the water is, at the very least, filtered. The latter is a hell of a lot easier for those who can afford it. I've been constantly drinking Nestle water for about a month now (several litres a day) and haven't gotten sick from it.

Come to some places here; let's see you drink from the tap and still be alive five days later. Bottled water is a necessity for some of us who don't completely wish to die of diarrhoea and stuff

Exactly.

It might be bad for our health to drink from plastic bottles, but in many places, it would be even worse for people's health to not drink from them.
