I've heard that regardless of the type of water you get (distilled,
spring, etc.), if it comes in a polyvinyl-chloride bottle (like most
major water suppliers provide) instead of a glass bottle (like they used
to have until someone decided they were too heavy), the quality of the
water is compromised.  Something about PVC molecules being freed and
mixing in the water.

I don't know anything about chemistry.  Does this sound plausible?
Has anyone else heard this?
