Should I drink water from a plastic bottle, glass bottle or a glass?
I work in an office and like to drink water throughout the day. I don’t want to buy a new plastic bottle 3 times a day, so is it okay to use the same plastic bottle over and over? Or is glass better?

It is OK to reuse a bottle, but it should only be used for 3-5 days, then it should be replaced. You should buy a nalgene bottle, they are awesome! they don’t smell or hold the sent or taste of past drinks. 1/2 the people in my office are using them now, because our office has plastic cups & we all got tired of being wasteful, I actually have 2 I will use 1 for 2 days take it home & wash it, while using the other one. They also have mesurements on the side so you can track how much you are drinking.

Why not refill the bottle from the cooler? That’s what I do.
I think water stored in a glass tastes better, but if you’re refilling it from a cooler on the same day, it won’t make a difference.

Reuse the bottles. Even if you want to buy a large jug and keep refilling the little bottles. Save the earth!! All those plastic bottles pollute our planet.

This might sound radical, but try a Camelbak. You can put all sorts of water in there 2 or 3 litres at a time. Drink to your hearts content. I’ve sat at a desk and it has the advantages of being able to drink hands free if you so choose.
Also you’ll have a neat new drinking container so you can go out exercising when you’re not at the office.

drinking water from any glass is definitely better
than plastic bottles. the chemicals from the plastic will infiltrate the water that you drink. You can definitely taste the difference. if you buy it bottled it is a bit expensive so refill filtered water into the glass.

Either is ok, but there’s less chance of spillage if you drink from the bottle. Just fill it at the water fountain.

why not buy a reusable bottle? ive heard you should only reuse plastic bottles once or twice cause the plastic materials can break down and can be bad. or something like that i dunno.

hi,
To drink in a glass is always good.On the other hand u can have in bottle also. Some bottles are having nos. in triangle below the bottle, if its 3 or more , then that bottle is saif to use for many days. The bottles having no number or less than 3, then definetly we must not use that bottle.
