Oh, it would turn your bottle from a nice eco friendly device into a murderous death bottle of doom. Good to know.
Carbonated beverages can cause problems in stainless steel bottles, including:
- Chemical reactions
- Acids in the drinks can react with the stainless steel, which can make the drink taste bad and damage the bottle.
- Oxidation and rusting
- Stainless steel can oxidize and rust when it contains carbonated drinks, which can shorten the bottle's lifespan.
- Heavy metal migration
- Acidic drinks can cause heavy metals like chromium, nickel, and manganese to migrate from the stainless steel, which could be harmful to your health.
- Increased pressure
- Carbonated drinks can increase pressure in the bottle, which could cause the contents to blow out. Stainless steel is also less ductile than plastic, so it might not be able to handle the pressure as well.
