probably not any worse for you than the alcohol already is
Trid says
Generally not, though it depends on the plastic of the water bottle. If it's PET, then you're ok (check the bottom where the recycling triangle is, it'll be labeled there). HDPE (high density polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene) will leach solvents and generally a plastic taste to the vodka. PET is the type of plastic that liquor bottles are made from…they impart the least amount of plastic taste to the liquor. However, you'll notice that none of the high quality spirits are bottled in plastic for this reason.
Not dangerous, just tastes plastic-y.

Have you ever heard of Dubra? It comes in a liter for $ 12. Now thats cheap vodka! Dubra at our college is our friend…and nemesis, if you know what I mean

less expensive vodka is commonly sold in PETE (triangle 1) bottles. So it stands to reason PETE bottles would be fine.

yes, but glass keeps it fresher
Shanna B says
Yes, it is just dandy to do that. They sell them in plastic. If it did not come in plastic, why do you want to switch it out?
mogger says
Yes you can but it might taste like plastic a little bit more.
