An unbreakable drinking bottle with straw

My dad is 89 and in a care home. He's angry and frustrated at what his life has become and regularly takes it out on his drinking bottles by launching them at walls, his TV (we've replaced 3) or even people at times. Does anyone have any recommendations for a tough robust drinking bottle which can take a straw please? I've tried googling but its pretty pointless these days because it just pushes adverts for sponsored items. Thank you.

ion8 is a great bottle. My kids have them and they last the entire school year and my ds is not the most gentle. They also sell straws now to add on

No suggestions but just a hug for you, how horrible for you and your dad xx

Yeti rambler with the straw lid, it's built in and strong. They also look quite manly with good colour options.

Maybe see if cycling water bottles (bidons) are any use? You can get some with a straw. They're usually softer plastic than normal water bottles so they don't shatter as easily.

Sho bottles, you can buy them with a flip top lid and they are indestructible.
