nah it'll be okay, people refill these all the time with water and go on using them for a while until they eventually get lost, everyone does it, it'll be fine

>or are there actual risks involved with reusing bottles such as these?
If such risks existed, they would be present for the initial use
And there are risks on using plastic bottles. Flexible plastics will shed microscopic plastic particles into he liquid inside them. You could buy metal bottles, but all metal bottles in current year will have some sort of plastic internal coating, which will shed microscopic particles quickly if the metal is dented/flexed at all
But as I write this, I'm currently using two used Gatorade bottles as water bottles

This pisses me off, I thought I was being smart and healthy and then a few months ago stumbled upon 'ohh btw 99% of cans are lined with plastic and it's worse than drinking from a plastic bottle' fml

those plastic bottles degrade over time, especially if they're cleaned and/or exposed to heat.

YOu don't get your required dose of microplastics from plastic bottles, their intake is miniscule. You get it from tire abrasions and clothing. THOSE are the big players. The fine dust is blown everywhere and you breathe it in and eat and drink it with everything that did not come out of deep underground (50000 years old ice age waer etc).
Worrying about some bottles is stupid.

>plastic container for oil & vinegar
Not enough microplastics in your diet? Just use glass bottles, nigga

Vinegar is acidic and most plastics are lipophillic

I know right. Glass is a solution, but I mostly use my water bottles at work, and work banned us from using glass/ceramic bottles because our personal bottles must be unbreakable
