    Don’t put glass bottles up your ass, they can break. PET bottles, preferrably filled with water if thin walled, are more recommended as a crude DIY solution, but still have their own issues, like lacking a base, and still can break.

      Whatever happened to putting a condom on produce? Cheap, infinite choice of shape and size and no sharp edges if it breaks

    fun fact: people often go to the er from ‘falling’ onto objects like beer bottles and then getting them stuck, a friend of mine once sent me a picture of a closet in the hospital she works at that was filled with the objects people had ‘fallen on’

    Ignoring the flareless butt plug shape for a moment - what prevents you from sticking a flat-based beer bottle into the sand, and why would you choose a shape that can’t be put on a table or upright in a fridge?

    It’s a pretty looking bottle though :)

      People who live near the beach you’re trying to drink on. Nothing says “I dont respect nature or your home” better than bringing a bunch of disposable beer bottles that you will statistically probably leave in the sand or throw into the ocean as soon as youre done with them. This is probably more a rant about overtourism than it is about beer bottles, but seeing a bottle thats designed to bring to the beach made my blood boil.

        Nothing. You just have to “shape” the hole a little more.

        I do not recommend sticking a beer bottle into the sand when it’s 30°C though. That’s a sure way to get disgustingly warm beer

          I don’t mind some beer room temperature. It’s actually better for some, although not a beach beer, and also yeah, hot sounds horrible. I guess buttered beer is a thing, and a few other hot beer drinks, but they’re winter things and more than beer alone.

            I’m fine (I’d rather have it cold but it’s still palatable) with room-temperature lager or even weissbier, but anything else… nah. That being said, when room temperature is 30C, all that goes out the window. I’ll shotgun the warm beer at the bottom of the bottle after forgetting it for too long because I hate to waste beer, but I won’t like it.

            Beer-wise, I used to mostly drink Bavaria 8.6 and could even stomach it at room temperature but now my back hurts and that stomach is not as robust as it used to.

              Saison is the style that normally just slightly below room temperature is desired, not cold. It helps the flavor come out more. Most styles I want fairly cool.

        If I was really determined to make my cold beer warm by putting it into hot sand, that is an effort I would be willing to make. But then I wouldn’t have the danger butt plug as a souvenir afterwards.

    Why would you want to put a bottle in the sand? Wouldn’t the sand just warm up the beer quicker?

      Yes, but I think the idea is that it won’t tip.

      edit: I’m more of a spirits guy, but I always thought rocking whiskey glasses were really cool. Apparently they were designed to house liquor or wine without spilling on a sailboat. I even have a decanter that goes with a similar tumbler set, though I have no idea where that is; still, always liked them. Obviously the sand temperature isn’t an issue with them, though.

        There is no way that story is true right? How would that be any way better than a normal wide glass with a low center of gravity? Those would be rolling back and forth all over a rocking boat.

          Not sure whether it’s true, exactly, but from my experience with tilting my glasses, they don’t roll across a surface; they do rotate, or rock, but don’t spill unless overfilled.

          I never took mine on a sailboat, nor did I take any others, so I can’t compare. However, I can say round bottomed cups are harder to spill than regular ones.
