What is the safest kind of water bottle to drink from?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) July 29th, 2011

I’ve heard that plastic water bottles can leach unhealthy chemicals into the water you’re drinking. Is this true; does it really pose a health risk?

I’ve also heard that drinking from a metal water bottle is therefore safer. But when I drink from a metal water bottle, the water tastes metallic, and I can only assume this means that I’m ingesting metal particles; I can’t imagine that’s very safe either.

What kind of water bottle is safest?
