So is distilled water not for drinking either since it does not have any minerals in it?
Sort of depends on what reference you are reading but in general it is "safe" but not recommended that a person drink a lot of it for various reasons.
IMHO...in a pinch it is "safe" but I wouldn't go making a habit of it. The flat taste is enough of a turn off for me.

Drinking distilled water
Yes, you can drink distilled water. However, you might not like the taste because it’s flatter and less flavorful than tap and bottled waters.
Companies produce distilled water by boiling water and then condensing the collected steam back into a liquid. This process removes impurities and minerals from the water.
Some sources claim that drinking distilled water will help detoxify your body and improve your health. Others claim distilled water leaches minerals from your body and could put your health at risk. In reality, neither of these claims is entirely true.
Side effects of distilled water: Pros and cons
Aside from its flat taste, distilled water doesn’t provide you with minerals like calcium and magnesium that you get from tap water.
Since distilled water doesn’t contain its own minerals, it has a tendency to pull them from whatever it touches to maintain a balance. So when you drink distilled water, it may pull small amounts of minerals from your body, including from your teeth.
Because you already get most of the minerals you need from your diet, drinking distilled water shouldn’t make you deficient. Still, if you’re going to drink distilled water, it’s a good idea to make sure you get your recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
Pros
Depending on where you live, distilled water could be better for you than tap water. If your town’s water is tainted with harmful chemicals or pesticides, you’re safer drinking distilled.
Cons
Storing distilled water could be more of a problem. Distilled water can pull in minerals from any material it touches. This means it can absorb trace amounts of plastic or whatever substance is in the container that’s holding it.
