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.
Oh yeah, I forgot about stainless. I’ve only ever seen overpriced water in those though. Also, I’m not nearly fancy enough to know about ceramic liquor bottles but I think I’ve probably seen them once or twice in the store. Usually filled with sake or something right?

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.

Liquor in ceramic is either very fancy, or the absolute least fancy (see: backwoods hooch).
I bought an empty stainless steel bottle and fill it myself. :) It doesn’t take long for that to be cheaper than buying plastic bottled water.
This is crazy talk. You can do that? How do more people not know about this. That’s wild.
Delirium Tremens (a Trappist beer) is packaged in ceramic.
