This is a very interesting topic. I too have always done it in a bottle. From reading some of these posts, maybe I shouldn't worry too much about it.
One thing I do know though. Nothing will messup (pun unintended) a hunt more than failing to factor in the time it takes to unhook the straps on your hunting overalls after making it down a 12 foot tree stand and finding a place to do a #2.
