I think I am going to switch to bottles. Cans are cheaper, but I tend to drink 1/2 to 3/4 of a can, then by the time I am ready for the rest, it's flat undrinkable to me. But with the bottles, you just plop that top on and get a longer duration out of the carbonation.

I usually get cans... but if I am going to share with my fiance, we get a bottle... the extra is just enough.

Bottled - but I usually buy Aquafina Flavorsplash lately, so it's really the only option.

I don't drink soda any longer (except for maybe once a month at a restaurant or something). But when I did... my order of preference was:

Glass >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cans >> Plastic bottles

I'm the same way, I drink soda very rarely, maybe a few times a month, maybe a few times more if we are counting making mixed drinks. The best are those little glass bottles with the plastic top, the old style glass bottles with the bottle cap don't seem to be as carbonated.

Soda is acidic. When in a can, it wears a tiiiiiiiny bit of aluminum off into the drink. A lifetime's worth of drinking canned soda ends up leaving aluminum deposits in your body that don't go away. Awful. Ideally stick with glass bottled, or at least plastic. None at all is best.

Try googling malic acid. If you're worried about the accumulation of aluminum in your body, regular doses of malic acid will flush it out of your system. Besides, aluminum cookware contributes a lot more aluminum to your system than the cans ever will.

Home: cans cuz i buy 36 pack pepsi from costco
school: bottles cuz they only sell bottles in our stores so that's all i can buy. more convenient for smuggling into library and other places where im not supposed to drink.

2 liter bottles only for parties or when i have to bring food to ppls places. otherwise i hate pouring.

Usually cans because you can't see the beer and whiskey that I pour into it when I'm on a mission.

...

Aluminum cans, and all canned products for that matter, have a coating on the inside.. because, yes... if the liquid was in contact with the metal, corrosion would result.
