Distilled water often isnt considered fit for human consumption. Commercial water stills are typically constructed in a fashion that will allow higher levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and other heavy metals into the distillate, than are allowed by law in true drinking water.
You guys can put whatever you want into your drinks, but, youd do better if it was labeled for human consumption, and not aimed at your lead acid batteries and clothes irons.
Buzz, you are an MD, you didnt know this?
Best,
Ted

Best,
Ted Come on Ted. If you buy a gallon of distilled water at a supermarket or a Walgreens it is perfectly safe to drink. In other words, it is potable.

It will say on the label if it is, Buzz. If it doesnt, dont drink it.
Best,

Nothing that comes in a plastic bottle should be drunk, IMO. If the bottles get much above room temperature chemicals begin being released into the water/drink contained. My general physician is a sharp guy, and a hunting friend. After I had my first kidney stone attack recently I made the comment that I wasn't going to drink my well water anymore because it was extremely high in calcium content, and that I'd be drinking purified bottled water. He told me quickly to stay with my well water, that it was much healthier for me than bottled water, and explained about the chemicals from the plastic being released into the water inside.
So, I'm drinking well water, which comes straight out of limestone rock, and taking a month's worth of Chanca Piedra every so often to dissolve any potential stones.
YMMV, SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I got the ice problem solved. My son gave me a box of little steel bullet shaped thingies that you freeze and use in place of cubes. Colder and don't melt. Last longer than whatever you are drinkin'...Geo https://www.thechivery.com/products/sipd...GkaAh-ZEALw_wcBDon't swallow one!

I'd heard plastic bottles release chemicals if you freeze them.

Sorry jOe, I forgot the full product warning:
Don't swallow them.
Don't lick them before you put them in the glass.
Don't try to chew them.
Best...Geo
