    It says "Do not refill."
    That means do not refill it.

    You can buy plenty of good reusable bottles that come in easy to carry shapes. Invest in one of those, buy a Brita filter, you'll save money (and your health!!!!) in the long run.

    buy a stainless steel water bottle :). no toxins leech into it, and you can use it every day. mine is about .75 liters, it's circular so it fits in my bag, and i've been pretty harsh with it (dropped it 5 1/2 foot in the air a couple of times and it's beaten up, but still gets the job done). i bought it for ~$20 at barnes and noble. if you're in a public place, you can always refill at a filtered water fountain. if you reuse the plastic bottles, the plastic might leech into the water.

    I think the warning is, in part, a marketing ploy so that you buy more water. Also if the warning is about something leeching out of the bottle into the water, I would think the water that came in the bottle originally would be more contaminated than my water.

    Excellent post.
