I like to put lemon or vitamins (those tablets that also create fizzyness) in my water and have been wondering if it is problematic to do so in my aluminium drinking bottle. I wouldn’t normally think so, since soft drinks also often come in aluminium cans, but I’m not sure. Are aluminium salts even unhealthy?

    Certain types of beverages can definitely cause some types of cans to erode, yes. You’d have to know whether or not your aluminum bottle has an interior lining or not. There are also different types of linings.

    Unfortunately, I only know these things from a friend who works in the canning industry so I can’t speak to them with any degree of detail. But some manufacturers get their beverages tested and then have to can them in certain types of cans for that reason.
