But don't drink from these pre-frozen bottles when they melt. Bad idea

Actually, meltwater has been proven to be more healthy than regular water.

And it actually taste better but.
Unless you using glass or ceramic bottles, I wouldn't recommend drinking it.

So did anyone put their beers in the freezer? I want to see pictures of the aftermath.

Oleg, from your site:
[quote]The claim that plastic water bottles will release dioxins when frozen is entirely unfounded. So is the claim that plastic food wraps and containers can release dioxins in the microwave oven.

The vast majority of plastics used in food wraps, packaging containers and beverage bottles do not contain the chemical constituents that form dioxins. In addition, dioxins are a family of compounds that are produced by combustion at high temperatures. They can only be formed during combustion at temperatures typically above 700 degrees Fahrenheit; they cannot be formed at room temperature or in freezing temperatures.

According to FDA, “ With regard to dioxins, we have seen no evidence that plastic containers or films contain dioxins and know of no reason why they would.â€

Do those suitcases with the tap sytle plastic water jugs have enough room for expansion when frozen without bursting?[/i]
What other people think about you is none of your business.
