PET isn't a good barrier for oxygen and co2. Friend had a bbq with 2 year old Pepsi in plastic bottles. Flat and nasty.

OTOH, they're fine for a few months.

I had scoresheets come back from a competition once that admonished me to not use twist off bottles because of carbonation and oxidation issues, which were not evident in the sample they judged.  It made me wonder two things: 1) why they were so concerned about it and 2) what happened to the beer I entered (since I never use twist-offs).
