out of your old beer/alcohol bottles!

works best for bottles that have ink printed directly on the bottle, and no paper labels.

technically the first step is drink all the liquid inside of the bottle, but here are the next 5 steps:

Step 1 - Grab a beer bottle preferably with thick glass such as corona bottles. Tie a string just above the label on the empty bottle.

Step 2 - Keep the string tied and soak it in lighter fluid.

Step 3 - Put the string back on the bottle and hold it horizontally. Light the sting rotating the bottle so the flame spreads. You should hear the bottle crack slightly in about 10 seconds.

Step 4 - After you hear the crack, pour cold water on the string and the top of the bottle will fall off.

Step 5 - Now grab sandpaper and sand the edges of the bottle till it is smooth.

This is a legit idea. Smart recycling. I don't drink, but if I did, I might try this.

Sweet, will definitely try this out.

you can do it with any glass bottle (pop, water, sauces, etc.)

Good point. Not many glass bottles for other liquids anymore these days though.

Nice find, love it. Science wins yet again.

Can't wait to make my own 4 Roses Single Barrel 700ml pint glass.

Only complaint (having not yet attempted the feat) is that the "sanded" glass might feel shyte on the mouth. The feel of professional glassware is just, well perfect.

Anyone tried to do it yet?

you can sand it, then use a micromotor with a polishing bur to polish the edges until its perfectly smooth. I will try it, then polish it with a micromotor. Then maybe I could make a business in selling glassware out of used bottles .

Edit: Nah, that was a bit harsh.
