Aluminum is fine if you're going to pour your drink into a glass, but despite the plastic inner sleeve you're still going to taste the metal edge if you sip from the can.

Imo glass bottle is king. Then can, then plastic bottle if I'm in the middle of the Mojave desert having walked for 3 days with absolutely no form of hydration and am literally on the cusp of death. It tastes like shit and is bad for environment; not recyclable. Fuck plastic bottles.

As a klutz, with stupid tile floors I can't afford to replace, I have come to appreciate plastic cups. Only having to clean up the spilled liquid, not deal with trying to protect kids and cats and my feet and hands as I scramble to get every shard, is worth the flatness of flavor.
