Hmm, if you like Coke maybe buy the large packs of cans? Metal's infinitely recyclable

It also takes more energy to recycle than plastic. :/ I would buy a nalgene and refill it at gas stations. Weird to drink soda from though.

It does, but doesn't degrade like plastic does. As of right now, only PET, polypropylene and polyethylene are recyclable in NA, meaning that not all plastics you get as containers are recyclables. It's better to avoid using them

Oh yeah, I wasn't advocating using plastic over aluminum, just avoiding both if possible

Ah I see, honestly I have to agree. Personally I love glass, my main water bottle is a rubber and glass bottle that's super easy to clean
