Well a traditional soft plastic gallon jug isn't super great for you, it will leech phthalates into your water. Hard sided plastic is generally fine, but if it squishes and is intended to be single use, don't drink from it!

I did a little googling, and the gallon of container that I use to store my water is BPA free, meaning, it does not leach harmful chemicals into the water like BPA plastics do.
