Thoughts? I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it's limited and finite recycle count

Aluminum is fine if you're going to pour your drink into a glass, but despite the plastic inner sleeve you're still going to taste the metal edge if you sip from the can.

It's somewhat more expensive, and under current rules disposal is basically not the manufacturer's problem, or even the consumer's. Are they more common in (I assume) the UK?

Weight is also a factor. All these bottles/etc are often transported in very carbon intensive supply chains. Any additional weight scales that footprint and has to be managed.
