Direct guidance
What to know or do
Follow boil or do-not-use instructions exactly and ask the relevant health authority about contaminants that boiling does not remove. Bottled water is not automatically free of every concern.
What changes the answer
- The exact ingredients and caffeine or alcohol shown on the label
- Serving size and what else you have had across the whole day
- Whether vomiting, diabetes, dehydration or another condition changes the plan

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
