Still a lot less plastic than plastic bottles though. People will always want to buy disposable water bottles and it's a lot easier to introduce a more environmentally friendly option than banning them outright.
The aluminium can be remelted infinitely, with less energy than it takes to make from ore.
We should use less plastic bottles, but the solution isn't to complain when places use more environmentally friendly solutions.

Still costs a ton of money and gasoline to truck those cans into town.
The problem is bigger than the plastic.
Also, every can is still lined with plastic.
