    Well, it’s better than plastic bottles. If you’re at a concert or event, then it’s probably the sensible choice.

      It is not better than plastic bottles. A plastic bottle lets you re-close the container.

      I’m not a huge festival goer but last time I was at one there were faucets from where you could just refill your bottles - for free.

        Outdoor festivals are likely treated a little differently than indoor ones.

        I’ve been to several concerts that pour all drinks into a plastic solo cup.

      Which concert doesn’t sell drinks in (reusable) cups?

      And for festivals I still will go with some 5L canisters full of water over a lot of cans

        What bougie venue you been to that uses anything more fancy than a clear solo cup? Every concert I’ve been to in the last… 5 years at LEAST has been either a plastic bottle with the cap removed, a clear plastic cup, or a liquid death.

          At least here in Germany everyone is selling drinks (beer as well as Softdrinks) from the tap in cups with usually 1 or 2 euros as a deposit so people don’t throw them to the ground and create a hazard

          Often the cups are also branded from the band so I collected a couple over the years
