You still can find glass bottle to avoid drinking plastics. Bottled water usually have less PFAS but it is variable and depends where you live.

I reuse tequila bottles to store tap water, which I leave in the sun, for the uv to break down the chlorine.

Other light does damage too. You can see it on materials at which sun shines through a window.
