    Neither. Drink from the source. There were no plastic or glass water bottles 10,000 years ago!!

    I recently got one of the glass water bottles from Starbucks and I adore it. Best of both worlds...

    Glass when I'm at home, because it's more convenient. Water bottle when I'm out and about, because carrying a glass on my bicycle is impractical and tends to spill. Plus if I drop it I might puncture a tire on all the glass.

    I prefer my stainless steel bottle. Partially because I'm clumsy and tend to spill things. But also because I just really really like it. I have searched a long time for the perfect bottle, and I finally found it. It's stainless steel (not aluminum), with an easy-to-open flip top (rather than a stupid screw-on top), the mouth is wide enough for ice cubes, and it's half liter instead of a whole liter, AND it's purple with flowers on it.

    I don't know which is better or if one IS better than the other. I carry around a purchased water bottle filled with reverse osmosis ice water. Personally I think it's that you are drinking plenty of water that's most important.

    Something not plastic.
    I try not to use plastic when I don't have you, for health and environmental reasons.

    Also, this.

    I know that I'm weird, but I simply won't drink more than a couple sips out of a glass...but give me a bottle of water and I'll drink 6-8 a day. Buying bottled water was getting too expensive though, so I got a Brita pitcher and I just refill my Dasani water bottle (which is the size/shape bottle I prefer).

    I, too, thought this was about wine and am disappointed :)

    Glass is better. Bottles often are made from plastic that breaks down by being exposed to sunlight or heat for more than a couple hours. You may never get cancer from drinking from a plastic bottle but at least with glass the risk isn't there at all.

    So you go to a stream and drink it straight from there, in your hands, dirt and all?

    You're missing the bigger picture here. How big is the glass/bottle?

    A cup is 8 oz...so it's saying you should drink 8 8 oz cups of water a day!

    Bottle. You get an extra workout for the lips. And if it's a sports cap, you have to suck too. It's like celery. Negative calories.
