Drink enough bottled water and you'll be impervious. Not sure why you would want that, but maybe it's something to do while waiting for you car repairs.

We have to buy our drinking water here, it comes in plastic.

A friend lives in a remote desert town where the water is OK for doing laundry and flushing toilets, but not for drinking. The state buys them drinking water, but it comes in plastic jugs.

But I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

Even make ice cubes with it. I have a tall glass jar with a lid on my counter to hold it. I filter it first with a Brita, then boil it.
