This a buzz going around the world. It is dangerous to drink water from plastic bottles as the plasticisers will leach in to water causing hormonal imbalance. They might also cancer. Drinking coke from plastic bottles is more dangerous as coke itself is full of sugar. 1 200 ml of coke have 20 cubes of sugar. Which is very high and stresses your pancreas. On long run you end with chronic ailments like diabetes, thyroid, alzheimer's. Hope this helps you. Stay away from plastic as much as possible.
