I started keeping a water bottle on me and drinking more water every day. Feels fuckin' great. But my plastic bottle broke a few weeks ago, so I figured I would stay away from any kind of chemicals in the plastic bottles and buy a STEEL bottle, because apparently aluminum is also toxic.

I have this fancy new steel bottle for not TWO WEEKS and it fucking rusts from the inside. What the hell am I supposed to drink my water out of if plastic gives me cancer, aluminum gives me cancer, and steel gives me cancer?

Dude gallon jugs are made of even worse plastic than water bottles. Not meant to be re-used. Go watch a documentary or something if you don't believe me

Peep a Nalgene. They're quality and you can put stickers on them.

The bad thing is plastic material is plasticizers, which are banned in some country (Denmark for example). So get yourself a bottle from there.

you can get much better BPA free bottles. The thing is tho, it's not just BPA there's a ton of other stuff like Bisfenol-s that's also toxic. All this shit is toxic and the only thing to do is suck it up and die sometimes.

Just wanted to let you know you're an idiot. Metals and plastics are chemicals. Chemicals are not unsafe. Metals are also not toxic in the sense you're thinking of, though heavy metals do have unwanted health effects.

In short, shut up and use a plastic bottle like a normal non retard, source BPA free if you're gay enough to spend $25+ on a bottle

I have a set of 6 500ml glass bottles that I always keep filled on the table.

No chemicals, cost-effective, no tear, no wear, it's great. I have yet to buy a high-quality filter for tap water though.

The biggest issues I have with water bottles is fucking washing them. It's impossible to get the insides properly dry so you end up with a lingering taste of washing-up liquid.

>aluminum is toxic
Lol what retard told you that? I am a metalworker, and out of all the metals, I would trust bare aluminum above all others. Stainless steel- ACTUAL stainless steel, not meme garbage comes a close second. Aluminum reacts with oxygen and forms a coating of aluminum oxide on its surface. Unlike iron oxide (rust), however, this oxide coating is impermeable to water, and forms a film that stops any weird chemical in its tracks. It also does not leach anywhere, it stays put. Simply just wash your bottle before using it for the first time to remove manufacturing contaminants

>Aluminum reacts with oxygen and forms a magical coating of aluminum oxide on its surface. Unlike iron oxide (rust), however, this oxide coating is impermeable to water, and forms a film that stops any weird chemical in its tracks like adamantium. It also does not leach anywhere, it stays put especially in my penis. Simply just wash your bottle before using it for the first time to remove manufacturing contaminants, and the aluminum village hokage will not be disappointed.

You know the levels of BPA in water stored in plastics is next to nothing and doesn't do shit right? Also stainless steel is fine.
