It's a jug. Fill it up with water and drink it. You're not going to die from it.

Not safe at all.



Drinking from older nalgene bottles causes a spike in estrogen.

I used my old Lexan Nalgene until it got dropped and spring a leak. I emailed a pic of the bottle to Nalgene and they sent me a new bottle. They were guaranteed for life no matter what when I bought them. Wife melted one in the dishwasher and threw it away, would have been a free replacement if she hadn't. Don't worry about the BPA, as long as the contents are used daily.

It's not like it's poisonous or something.  The problem is in long term continued exposure, not occasional, infrequent use.  You should be fine.

It's fine. The BPA risk is really not as great as the media etc would lead you to believe.

Considering we used the damn things for years without much of a problem, I'm sure it'll be fine.

If you read the safety warnings that come with most shit, you'd think human beings are the most fragile creatures on the planet.

Completely safe, and the bullshit scare over them is and was just that.

I'll be on the river tomorrow, drinking Gamesniper's famous Bloody Marys out of a lexan Nalgene bottle.

Chased with ice-cold Bud Lights. Beer is already iced up.
