As a germaphobe, I don’t like the uncertainty of hand washing, preferring instead the hepatitis-free one and done of a cool paper cup.

I don’t understand your point. Using a water bottle keeps it to germs you already have. If you wash the bottle every few days (or more, my wife runs hers through the dishwasher every time we run a load), you practically eliminate germs.

I’d rather trust that than a paper cup I did not install in a holder myself.

I absolutely hate to see folks use a new paper cup EVERYDAY in office environments for coffee, tea, etc. Paying up for a good reusable mug/container is essential.

I have the same Nalgene wide-mouth 1-liter polycarb bottle from like 2003. It's a little beat up, but works fine still, nothing a dishwasher can't handle.

I thrifted one of these a year or so ago. I also grab RTIC and similar tumblers when I find them.
