Question by Generic Person: Is it safe to reuse plastic bottles for water?

I know about plastic containing carcinogens, but I recall hearing that it only applied for things under high or low temperatures. Is it safe to keep a bottle around to refill with water when I get thirsty? It is going to be left out on my desk, so no refrigeration or heat to really worry about.

Answer by SuperVibrationalEscrow
As safe as re-using a plastic cup. It is good to wash them out with hot water and dish soap from time to time just to prevent bacteria.
