Been trying to avoid plastic containers when I can. So I’m drinking canned water when I’m not near a tap and glass.
Liquid Death is fucking baller for this.
Lol actually what I was drinking. Severed Lime is my favorite but this was the Grave Fruit which is also pretty tasty.
Tallboy liquid death. Still.
aren’t cans the same as drinking from a plastic bottle because the can is lined with plastic on the inside? maybe it’s less bad, haven’t looked much into it.

Depends on why you’re wanting to drink from a can, I suppose. If you’re doing so for sustainability, its a better choice than plastic:
“Aluminum cans are one of the easiest materials to recycle, and aluminum can be recycled indefinitely. In fact, 75% of all the aluminum ever produced is still in circulation, and in the US alone, over 100,000 cans are recycled every minute. Still, an estimated 45 billion cans make it into landfills every year from lack of recycling. By contrast, less than 10% of plastic is recycled, and plastic degrades significantly through the recycling process.”
The recyclable nature is a large motivator for me for single use containers. I’ve also wanted to avoid plastic containers as a source of potential plastic ingestion from food and drink. But looks like that’s less of a benefit than I thought here. Oh well, at least it’s still recyclable.
yea for some reason I just assumed it was about the micro plastics/health aspect. I didn’t consider the sustainability aspect in which cans are superior.
edit: there’s also the fact that cans just taste better imo
yea for some reason I just assumed it was due to micro plastics/health reasons. you’re right, when doing it for sustainability cans are superior.
Didn’t realize that. Might be something to look into
In a very binary thinking sort-of-way, yes.
But it’s kind of like saying: Driving a motor scooter is the same as driving a bus.
Sure, they’re both ICE vehicles. But it’s disingenuous to say they’re the same.ah, I didn’t really consider the environmental aspect. for some reason I just assumed it was due to micro plastics/health reasons. you’re right, when considering the environment cans are obviously superior to single use plastic bottles.
Thanks for the analogy
