Plastic Bottles

What is the danger from drinking from plastic bottles exactly? Is it dangerous after you fill it up numerous times or is it if the content is in it for too long? Any explanations welcome. Thanks

All i know is that a plastic bottle makes drinks taste weird such as milk and juice.... and if you leave something in bottles they start to smell bad!!

The only danger I was aware of was from a hygiene point of view. People seem to think because the bottle only contains water that it does not require the same level of washing as say a bottle containing orange or coke. In particular those pop-up resealable lids that you put in your mouth so readily are often overlooked when it comes to washing.

Are there more dangers??
