But, have you considered insulated stainless steel bottles? Thermos makes a whole variety of shapes, colors, and sizes of stainless steel bottles that have are double walled with a vacuum in between the layers. I have this one: http://www.thermos.com/products/vacuum-insulated-purple-flower-hydration-bottle.aspx I can fill it with water and 3-4 ice cubes at night and keep it next to my bed and it will still have a little ice left in the morning. It doesn't 'sweat' like uninsulated bottles and there aren't any worrisome plastics or coatings. I assume other manufacturers make similar products, but I've been so happy with Thermos I've never looked elsewhere. I've never had any taste issues with my stainless bottle.

Here the Public system not include provide drinking water to the public. Can you imagine? There are no water fountains at all. Mexico consumes more bottle water per person that any other country in the wold.
