A decent reusable steel water bottle. Doesn't need to cost a lot, and really cuts down on dishes at home
How does it reduce dishes? Water bottles are one of the more annoying things to wash, in my experience, because my hands aren't small enough to fit anymore.
Edit: Yes, I have a bottle brush. It's just that it's a bit of a hassle to soap it from dry and then have to dry it somewhere before storing it again. I wash everything else with a rough sponge normally.
Get a metal one and put it in the dishwasher. Or get a bottle brush.
Also, occasionally filling it with white vinegar and letting it sit overnight can help clean deposits.
ETA: In general putting plastic in the dishwasher is not advised.
I see you've never had a partner with ADHD! Going around collecting all the half-drank water glasses in our household used to be a full-time job.
I have not! In fact, I'm usually the one carrying around water glasses because they're less hassle to drink from and far easier to (visibly) clean than any other vessel is. I try to limit myself to two or three in the house though...
Unfortunately we're both the problem, so there would just be glasses EVERYWHERE. Carrying one bottle around just made more sense
i use almost nothing but stainless steel drinking cups now
For cups (for cool liquids), I use aluminum since it cools my drink down quickly with just a small amount of ice.
I've been using my for about 8 years now, still holds up.
Hit up the Goodwill or similar, you can find stainless bottles for dollars.
Local DI (deseret industries-a Mormon goodwill equivalent) has them for $1.50. Pick your lid, thermo flask, size, straw or naw. Get 6 for $9. Or buy 1-2 a bunch of times. My only transportation is cycling (other than busses/trains). Hydration is essential for proper functioning on all of these.
Water is life homie.
Man I hate these. They make water warm up instantly (unless vacuum insulated) and I could just one a single glass the whole day, or multiple days.
