From https://www.drugs.com/pro/bacteriostatic-water-for-injection.html
"Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. "
ie. Bacteriostatic water is sterile water which contains a bacteriostatic preservative
From https://www.drugs.com/pro/sterile-water-for-injection.html
Sterile Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection, which contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer.
(Nonpyrogenic - will not cause fever)
Sterile water and Bacteriostatic Water are made in special laboratories and are often used as a diluent for injections.

If you are doing HCG injections, bacteriostatic water is recommended as plain sterile water will not keep the solution viable long enough to complete the treatment. Bacteriostatic has a preservative in it to keep the HCG injection fresh.

If someone uses HCG sublingually, do they still need bacteriostatic water or will any water do?

I am pretty sure if the alcohol in bacteriostatic water can penetrate and dissolve bacteria then it can also dissolve HCG and other peptide molecules?
Alcohol kills everything right? i don't think it is selective in what it dissolves.
