alt Hacker NewsWell I don't think residential kitchens are as chaotic as a commercial kitchen, so sure drinking out of a non breaking container is probably a good idea (glass breakage is a pita there).
However most people (I assume on HN) are not line cooks and do not work in commercial kitchens. I drink out of glass (don't want plasticy taste) and use glass to store leftover food.
Here's one: "There's a reason most line cooks drink out a deli rather than read NIH" [0] :)
As previously mentioned, whether one thinks using glass is worth it is a personal preference.

[0] TLDR: Guidance
Avoid plastic containers as much as possible. My ranking (and only if food-grade) of probability of leaching chemicals into the foods they contain...
I store leftovers in deli cups. I usually wash them afterwards. A rigid plastic deli has about as much plastic as a freezer bag, but by the time you've reused a deli once, you've crushed the freezer bag in efficiency, and the median reuse count of one of my delis is probably double-digits. Meanwhile, if I need to clean my fridge out fast, I can just check the entire deli in 2 seconds. Do that with a glass container.
You do you, but if you buy prepared food, be aware that no part of the supply chain for that food is fastidious about plastic the way you are.
