Is it safe to drink the water out of the plastic bottles?

Bottled Water: There is some concern of heat exposure during manufacturing, transportation, storage and redistribution may effect the water potency and long term adverse effects are yet to be known. Initial studies show no harm.

Certain plastics: It is safe to drink out of certain plastics. They make plastic containers now that do not leach chemicals. This is what you need.
