I drink water out of a large insulated water bottle at home since it lets me keep a significant amount of water near me without having to go downstairs to the kitchen all the time (this is especially nice during work). It’s also nice that it doesn’t have to be upright if I’m doing something like laying on the couch, and it’s not a problem if I knock it over on my nightstand[1].
The downside of a insulated water bottle is that it’s either larger or has less capacity. My water bottle doesn’t fit in a car drink holder or bike bottle carrier, and it’s too big to reasonably use when traveling. I use smaller non-insulated water bottles for all of those cases.
My wife sometimes drinks her morning cold-brew coffee out of an insulated mug since it keeps it cold significantly longer than a normal ceramic mug. I drink my coffee fast enough that ceramic mugs are fine.

Just this weekend I was visiting my family and spilled a glass of water all over the nightstand and it was really annoying.
Ah, good points the benefit of not spilling and not having to be upright. Those both seem helpful.
