That may work if I could figure out what to use to prop the bottle(s) to
keep them from falling over.

I too have wrote in here about reusing Plastic, but still buy soft drinks
and Milk in plastic bottles.

Back in the days when my area charged a deposit on Glass Soft Drink bottles,
we religiously were careful not to break them, so they could be returned to
the Store on the next shopping trip.
After all, they were worth their weight in 'Copper's (Pennies).

BTDT.

Just recenty we been told about putting "drink enhancers" in water, so we
bought a couple of flavors (Lemonade and Fruit Punch) at Wal*Mart.

If I remember, I will put a squeeze from one of those in a bottle of water,
and take it with us when we're out and about.
