Yes, bottled water is a scam costing far more than a barrel of oil. The bigger issue from drinking constantly from hard plastic bottles is the low level ingestion of bisphenol-A, an estrogenic compound responsible for many ill effects. Vom Saal et al, suggest this compound is responsible for all manner of adverse effects including weight gain. Solution—drink your liquids from glass and drink no more than required to satisfy your thirst.
There is NO BisA in water bottles made from PET.
