I can do 1L over a period of time... in a plastic bottle. If US cups are like they are elsewhere they eventually get eaten away by the liquid and start dripping, which seems to go against the implied notion that you can just order a big one and take it with you to keep drinking elsewhere.
The largest size cups are often, but not always, thin as hell plastic.
So you get more free plastic waste with your beetus.
Good to know. In fairness, I don't think you can get that much Coke in anything but plastic. They don't do 1L cans and there are thick plastic bottles starting at 500ml, so thin plastic may actually be better.
I do think there's a 1L glass bottle, but it's more of a special edition thing. I don't think it's easy to find in supermarkets and I havent' seen it anywhere else. And for any soft drink other than specifically Coca Cola it's mostly just plastic for anything above 500 mil.
