Edit- I looked it up. If you have kidney disease it can accumulate and cause other problems, but the amount entering the body from aluminum cooking items is incredibly low. I’d imagine even lower from a drinking cup.
Aluminum is not strong enough for me. I need to buy the most indestructible products because I will unintentionally break them. I have broken a nalgene already
I could be wrong, but it sounds like a titanium canteen would accrue damage and dents more easily, but be more likely to survive larger falls. But I’d probably still choose steel just because steel is plenty fine and cheaper.
No plastic, no aluminum. No glass either just because I’m clumsy. Wide opening only. If I can’t fit my hand in to clean it, I don’t want it.
I have a 64 oz one, and a 128 oz one. Am aiming for them to be buy-it-for-lifers.
Why no aluminum
I’m a little concerned about the potential for aluminum toxicity.
In what way is aluminum toxic?

Enh maybe it’s fine. Even so, steel is real.

In that case if all else fails, there is titanium.
Which stainless steel still beats in terms of strength. The main advantage of titanium is it’s really light
I don’t think it’s as simple as that. Depending on your needs:

What material?
Stainless steel.
Asbestos
Absolutely. With proper application, asbestos can make all kinds of products last the rest of your life.

The miracle material!
My water is so protected from unexpected fires!
Thank god, my water keeps spontaneously combusting now my house is safe from water thanks to asbestos
Worth it for that sulphur flavor though
