A bottle of water is convenient to carry and, if you refill the
store-bought bottles over and over, no a waste of resources.

What bothered me was a few years ago when a "study" reported that
refilling bottles could expose you to a lot of contaminants from
the plastic. That felt like a major scam.

I do know that if you (or a child) have a contagious illness, cold, flu,
etc. you should throw away the bottle you have been drinking from or
at least attempt to sanitize it with a bleach solution.
