Water bottles in car

Posted by AnarchyBruder@reddit | preppers | View on Reddit | 37 comments

Hello, quick question regarding water storage. I’d like to store a decent amount of water in my car, let’s just say a 40pk bottled water. I live in a very hot state and I’m aware of the concern of hot plastic bottles becoming unsafe to drink. My questions are as follows; 1) is there actually any truth to this? I’ve seen it both ways where people claim there is danger and where people don’t, I’d like a more definitive answer WITH credible sources please. 2) Assuming it truly is unsafe what’s a fair timeframe to assume the water will be safe for? Say peak of Arizona summer am I safe to drink from a plastic water bottle that’s been stored in my car a week after storage? A month? A day? Again, I’d like credible sources if possible.

Thanks guys :)
