Collecting Beer Bottles, full or empty?

Question

I told my husband the neighbor collects beer bottles, unique ones, and he asked if she collects FULL bottles, I said NO ONE collects full ones, only empty ones, wheres the fun, if its not emptyed by you?

Am I wrong?

Answer 1

ur neigbors weird for doing that and ur right then how would you get drunk.?

Answer 2

I agree with you that it is funner to collect the empty ones...but it isn't unheard of to collect the full.

Personally, I collect beer glasses. Drink the beer out of it's specific glass and then save the glass. Best of both worlds.

I'm even allowed to have my own dedicated room at home...I call it The Lounge. I hope to get a smoking jacket soon.

Answer 3

It is part of the enjoyment to first drink the beer and save the bottle. You not only learn about diff beers but also have a trophy.

Answer 4

OTOH, people do collect full alcohol bottles.  There is a whole subculture of people who collect "miniature" (~50mL) bottles of spirits.  These bottles exist because it's not legal in many places to travel with an open but not empty bottle of booze, so if you want to drink on a train or plain it has to be from a single-serving container.

Most of them are relatively inexpensive, so they make for good souvenirs and keepsakes from interesting places you've been.

Answer 5

Full Bottles could be worth more years own the road.

Answer 6

No glory in collecting full bottles, Cheer's....And i would Love to play with you....

Answer 7

A little bit of both really.  Common beers are going to hold little to no value in the contents of the container but the bottle can be both entertaining and valuable.  Some beers though are either limited in their release or prone to aging well like wine so in those cases maintaining the contents could very well increase the value of the beer.  Either way, I don't think it's wrong or right to do one or the other.  Beer drinkers and those who collect breweriana are well aware the beer was made to be consumed.

Answer 8

collecting bottles like beer,whiskey,rum etc is very interesting but there is no fun or excitement if you don't drink them.it's best that we drink them and add them to our collection.but most importantly we must be careful about our health.
