I thought this was common knowledge.
Yeah, same. The only beverage containers that don't contain plastic are glass, and even those the lids are either entirely plastic or plastic underneath to seal against the glass.
Let's not forget that stainless steel drinking bottles exist, and some booze can be bought in ceramic bottles, so we do have safer alternatives for transporting/holding beverages. There are fewer options for carbonated drinks, of course.
I miss glass bottles of coke.
They're still available, but mainstream supermarkets don't tend to carry them as much.
I don't go for soft drinks often, but when I want one there's a few brands of root beer that come in glass bottles that stores near me keep stocked.
