Wanted to add one more to the list because I think the Stainless bottles have great properties - including retaining the cold of your drink with none of the metallic aftertaste - plus stainless by nature doesn't need an inner lining. I did lots of research and opted for a stainless bottle... but loved the SIGG designs, so I searched until I found a great stainless bottle that offered designs (I got the tree one). <a href="http://www.brightandbold.com/stbo33oztr.html" target="blank" rel="nofollow">Here's a pic </a>of my new fave bpa-free bottle I use daily!

There is always some leaching with plastics made with BPA, however, it is <b>greatly</b> accelerated by reuse, and even more by heat, such as putting stuff through the dishwasher. As for milk jugs, look on the bottom. There will likely by a number 2 inside a sort of triangle made of arrows, which means the jug is made from High-density polyethylene (HDPE), which has good barrier properties and has good chemical resistance. So no worries about BPA there. (Items made with BPA will have a number 7, though not all 7's have BPA... sounds like one of those complicated math problems they used to give us in grade school!).
