Who has ditched the trusted Nalgene bottle?

I use 1.5L smart water bottle. Light weight, sawyer fits on top if need be. Started it when I was thru hiking the AT and it stuck
 
I usually just buy a couple of water bottles at the grocery store. The Gatorade ones have a nice big opening. 2-3 of them are light. Those bottles can usually be squeezed down to content, so you don´t have that clock-clock-clok sound when moving with a half full bottle.
 
Now, a bottle, for me at least, can have a downside as I tend to drink a lot more from a bottle. When I'm thirsty, I can literally chug a bottle but the resistance of sucking from a bladder slows this down. This can matter when water is scarce.

I just stumbled on the “Swig Rig.” Expensive for what it is but allows dual use of one’s wide mouth nalgenes, they make a small mouth version as well.
