Thats NOT the main reason so iv been told  :cool: :cool:

Its because it turns sludgy in your bottle.... Then it breeds bacteria like nothing on earth!!!!!!!

Then when you use the washers, sprays nasty bugs eveywere... Then people who drive with there windows open, like van drivers get bugs!!

There was a nasty lung illness that went around for a while because of this, or was linked to it anyway...

 

You are thinking of legionnaires disease. Grows in stagnant water which is why its recommended to use proper screenwash to kill the bugs.
