I realize this is an old-ish article but, I feel it still needs to be said. Whether storing water long-term or just short-term, you should always AVOID any plastic containers. BPA is a xenoestrogen (there are other xenoestrogens besides BPA). Xenoestrogens are synthetic estrogen (they mimic natural estrogen). Xenoestrogens store themselves in your fat and cause a hormone imbalance that can’t be fixed without eliminating exposure to xenoestrogens (plastics, processed foods/beverages, etc) and then switching to a organic raw fruit, vegetable, meat, dairy diet. Hormone Imbalances have been linked to cancer and auto-immune disorders. Stick to glass (safety first).

In reply to Grampa. Agree, a smart solution! Plus you can refill those instead of buying more bottles! Chris

We get the bottled water in the 24 bottle size. What I see is that a bottle is opened and partly used and set down and they go for another for they forget where they set it or whose bottle it is, I started getting the gallon size and put a spout on it and lay it down in the frig and leave paper cups next to the bottle This reduces waste for they drink about half of the small bottle and set it aside and it gets tossed out.

In reply to Jose. Hey Jose, good question. I believe the advice to avoid the juice containers is to avoid the milk carton style cardboard juice containers. I believe plastic, see through containers would be as good as soda bottles to use. Chris

Hello, I’ve seen similar info posted on other prepping sites and finally decided to ask this question: you do not recommend using plastic bottles that were used to hold juices because of the sugar content, yet, you recommend using soda bottles which also had sugar in them, what’s the difference? Inquiring minds want to know…
