I’ve been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic “flip lid” bottle from Bezos’s market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don’t really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

I’ve started drinking evian a week ago. Although it’s a few bucks more compared to other brands, what I’ve heard it’s more like actual water because the water source has (some) minerals that you would expect to find in water.

I have one that’s gone to work with me for about seven years and a bigger glass one for beside my computer that’s a repurposed glass mineral water bottle (Voss)

I am planning on getting a modest pelican one though at some point to support the channel

I use a stainless steel bottle that I got for free from my previous job - possibly the best thing that came out of that job tbh, as it’s light, big and has a stainless steel lid too, so it’s super durable and eco-friendly. Prior to that, I’d use a glass bottle which also doubled up as a tea-infuser, only problem with it was that it was heavy.

#Avoid plastic, even if it’s recyclable or reusable

Plastic bottles tends to leach toxins into water over time - even the so called reusable and durable ones too - and the longer you use it, the more toxins it releases, which can cause inflammation to eventual organ failure or even cancer. Avoid plastic.

Woah, before we go into “eventual organ failure”, can you provide something pertaining to reusable bottles because the link you provided doesn’t make such claims.

I’ve been using a Nalgene 1L daily since receiving it last Christmas. It has the screw on widemouth lid, I’m typically leery of any plastic, but I feel safe with this particular brand that is made in the US (where I foolishly believe that material sourcing is better researched).

I have 2. 1 from previous work which I’ve using from past 3 years and the other I got when I joined the new workplace. Fuckers asked me to choose between a coffee mug or water bottle so I chose water bottle.
