We have metal water bottles. We don't re-use plastic ones. I guess the lid is plastic, but the water doesn't go all the way up to the lid.
Not trying to pile on, but if the water sits for more than say a week, bacterial growth can become an issue. There is a method for storing water up to 6 months, but it's a bit of work.
Can, but this is badly overblown imo.
Water alone cannot grow bacteria. They need a food source too, an energy source. Sunlight is probably not getting in, so where does the food come from? How do they fuel metabolism? Just like you, they need food and water.
"Dirty" water can grow bacteria, because there's more than just a bunch of H2O molecules in it. Something like distilled cannot.
So, depending on the source of your water, you can be fine. Like, a lot of people use RO, and that's pretty clean water.
I don't think that's a problem either. She tells me she's thirsty basically every time I drive her anywhere. It's like she gets in a car and her throat immediately dries up. But I'll keep it in mind, thanks.
