Dude he’s clearly not running this thing for years. A freshly acquired water bottle can be used two or three times over a couple of days. You aren’t going to die. When I was in Germany people reused their plastic bottles constantly. They would keep a giant bottle of whatever they wanted to fill it with in the fridge, and they would fill the smaller (used) plastic bottles, which they would wash and use few times before recycling. This is an incredibly common practice and it’s largely fine. You’re just trying to win an internet argument by making it sound like someone is digging out some crusty, crumbling years old plastic and eating the shavings for a snack.
TL;DR: reusing a (cleaned) plastic water bottle a few times before tossing it is not going to kill you.
Yeah I mostly agree with you and was largely being hyperbolic.
But really, I got a nice double-walled metal bottle awhile ago and it’s a game changer, I top it off with ice and fresh (filtered) water from my fridge in the morning and I have fresh, icey water all day. And I’m not consuming a bunch of single-use plastic in the process, highly recommend.
edit: also, apathetic accelerationist doomers piss me off
You aint wrong but metal bottles are now a fad and cost like 30 bucks, which for most “western working people” aint that much. That’s still decent cash for majority of the world esp to spend on a bottle… i already lost a few since i started with reusable, so need to budget for that too. Also, if i lose my reusable, yes i am getting less plastic but lost metal bottle if trashed prolly had bigger carbon impact.

I don’t use ice nor do I use filters: just straight from the tap.
