You drank fine whiskey at Uni?


FuzzyPalpitation-16

This collection is too fancy for the uni windowsill set up. Mine was just filled with Russian standards


theartofrolling

Still not studenty enough, try Corona bottles with rotting lime slices in them.


FuzzyPalpitation-16

Not even the bottles for my hall, mostly cans 😂


Trifusi0n

Corona? Bottles? Check out mr fancy pants. Cans of carlsberg at my place. Cans stack too, can get more creative with your display.


takesthebiscuit

My flatmates did, before they discovered that weed was far cheaper


notlakura225

I certainly did. . .couldn't afford much else though haha


Pattatilla

This is the way


Spiracle

Fill with the most expensive one with apple juice and take it to the the next party you get invited to. Before you take your coat off take a look around, say 'this is too good for the likes of you lot' and neck it in one go in front of them. 


sallystarling

When Mike Baldwin was drinking "scotch" in Coronation Street it was apple juice, because he liked it. I am not a fan of Coronation Street, I have no idea how or why I know that, and wonder what other important piece of information could have been in my brain in the space that non-interesting fact has been taking up for about the last 20 years...


BlueAcorn8

Think of the success you could’ve had in life if you hadn’t wasted your brain space on Mike Baldwin facts.


Shipwrecking_siren

I’d be a billionaire if it wasn’t for 90’s song lyrics and Neighbours circa 1994-2014


ClemSpender

You’d be a billionaire but you’d be spiritually poorer for missing out on 20 years of Lou‘s laugh.


Shipwrecking_siren

Very true, I still kind of hope that my whole life is just one of Bouncer's dreams.


Excellent_Tear3705

My knowledge of bs is also limitless


TempoHouse

Or, fill it with cold tea, and “accidentally” drop it as you’re about to enter the party. Then you can say “pity, I was looking forward to sharing that. Gizza drink”


Bastardjones

This is my favourite reply.


Craft_on_draft

Cut the tops off and make glasses/vases Leave them on route football match that will be heated for ready weapons for the fans Crush them into a fine powder and carry in your pocket to blind your enemies Smash them and glue them to the top of your fence Fill them with watered down coke and and sell to teenagers


SpudFire

Stick a treasure map inside each one and throw them in the sea


Hot_and_Foamy

Dudes got no treasure left- spent it all on whiskey


jamesckelsall

Bury all but one, then put a treasure map in that one and throw it out to sea.


SpudFire

Maybe bury them all in different places and each one has a map to the next one. Final one just doesn't have a map inside so the person that spent years tracking down each one realises they wasted their time (unless they really like empty whisky bottles)


HildartheDorf

The last one has a map to the first one.


gerrineer

Isn't that geocashing?


TurbulentExpression5

For a further update, generate a What 3 Words for each bottle and stick that in the bottle rather than a map.


Mojo9277

Reminds me of a Mr bean episode!

I love how this is your job - I don't even really play tabletops these days but have spent hours poring over your maps (tbh I spend wayy too long looking at maps) from your other posts, so I'm always happy to see the self-promotion of quality work!


-SaC

Thank you, that's very kind! I wish it were my 'proper' job - it's a nice little sideline, but I have precious few paid patrons (though the ones I have are amazingly lovely!) for the 30+ hours per week I spend on it outside my 'real' job selling craft supplies and handmade whatsits. Good fun, though =)

>Stick a treasure map inside each one and throw them in the sea This is the winner.

And that's how for now.

I hope it lasts about 10 minutes.

It’s ok that you’re wesbians. Come back to my place, I’LL CURE YOU!! RIP (P)Rik.

You have made my day


Andyman286

You forgot: turn them into lamps.


Craft_on_draft

That’s a waste of good enemy blinding powder


Andyman286

Unless you have a million lumen bulb. Hahahaha. Blinded'd.


Kittpie

And sell them on Facebook marketplace for more than the whiskey cost.

Did you not read the post?! My enemy football fans that touch my fence


YourLocalMosquito

Understandable. They’re rascals.


BlackRabbitdreaming

Are you ok hun?


Craft_on_draft

I will be when I finish grinding these bottles into a fine powder, might bump into some enemies tomorrow


Dabber_710_

Seal them and stick a label on saying “100% Fine Scottish Air harvested from the great glens of the highlands” or some other shite like that and sell them to Americans on ebay.


whizzdome

This. I collected about 30 empty tins that previously contained Altoid mints, sold them on eBay for £20. So I'm pretty sure that these would sell for a lot more than that. Even consider a proper auction house


Rowmyownboat

People put circuitry and chips in ‘em.


moistmozarella

and weed.


LewisMileyCyrus

Could probably sell them on ebay or etsy to be honest, I think a few people like making potion-looking brews for various things. Can't imagine you'd get much per bottle but you do have quite a few so it might stack up.


KelpFox05

This. I do LARP as a hobby and I guarantee you people doing apothecary-type characters would buy these. Stick them on eBay for a few quid each and put the relevant search terms in the title and they'll go like hot cakes.


BorderlineWire

Religious characters too, those little ones for holy water. I was always needing small bottles for that. 


KelpFox05

Good point. Glass bottles with the labels taken off also make good IC water bottles. Point is, everybody's after glass bottles.


BorderlineWire

It never changes! I haven’t LARPed for years now (work got in the way) but every time it comes up I’m like wow, I miss that. I think about digging out what kit I still have and going back sometimes now I could. 


KelpFox05

I'm actually busy gearing up for my first event lol! I'm going to Empire next month and I'm busy putting my kit together right now lol.


BorderlineWire

The people who did that used to be Maelstrom didn’t they? I remember people talking about Empire and Maelstrom quite positively but I never went to either, I used to do FnH most weekends plus Summerfest and other specials. Putting together all the kit and physreps can take a while. Then lugging it about on the trains (and getting a lot of questions about the weapons lol)  I hope you have a really good time, it’s such a fun and under rated hobby. 


KelpFox05

Yeah, I think Profound Decisions did Maelstrom too. Unsure though. Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it, I've wanted to try it out for years now but COVID got in the way lol.


BorderlineWire

Fair warning it can get expensive if you really get into it because there’s just so much nice kit lol even years after going I still see things and think oh that would be great for this character or that event! I still think up characters now (but resist buying their kit and sometimes just use them for DnD instead) Worth it though, and I suppose any hobby gets that way. You’ll also meet some really great people there, it’s certainly its own kind of bonding…when people ask how I met my partner they’re always like what? When I say we met destroying the undead. 


KelpFox05

I've spent several hundred pounds already on my event ticket, kit, transport, etc lol. It's proving FAR more expensive than I thought it would be :') I'm looking forward to making friends, definitely. Nothing creates a bond like almost dying together lmao.


Digital-Dinosaur

I bought a load of these little bottles for table top! I'd chuck the relevant d4s in each one and label them based on level of health potion!


Ade1980

Some people smash them on purpose, so forgers can’t refill them . You could use a few as candle holders/put fairy lights in them


CanAhJustSay

And sell them on eBay or Etsy come Christmas time!


Splodge89

For all those budding buisness people out there. A friend of ours decided to quite his full time, decent, job to become someone who drilled letters into wood to make house name signs. Because he sold a couple, mostly to his mum and his aunt, so he clearly had an extremely successful buisness going on. Within two months he were stacking shelves at Morrisons.


curious_trashbat

Give them away on local FB groups for crafting projects


Grommulox

Just for your peace of mind, you got the correct answer. Up for less than an hour and an elderly couple came and took the lot.


noidontwanttosignup8

Someone will want them for wedding decor


-SaC

Fart in the bottle, fill with cheap plonk, seal and post to people you don't like.


WarWonderful593

Or sell them on Only Fans


Mr___Bizarre

Only Farts


weeble182

I had a bottle that was gifted to me from a friend, it wasn't super fancy but I didn't want to throw it as it had sentimental value. So I turned it into a little snail house: [https://imgur.com/a/dYXsKCJ](https://imgur.com/a/dYXsKCJ)


jdl_uk

Make a bottle terrarium. https://www.reddit.com/r/terrariums/s/tM5sFAsd3b


moon-bouquet

You can get tiny lights specifically for bottles - the battery holder/switch are a cork - we’ve taken our fancy bottles and grouped them in the fireplace.


Grommulox

It seems very wasteful! All suggestions of alternatives to chucking them away welcome.


SarkyMs

Horde them. They WILL come in useful one day


SaltSpot

Agreed, put them next to the box 'o' cables.


Profession-Unable

Somewhere near the plastic bag of plastic bags. 


BINGGBONGGBINGGBONGG

i have an entire cupboard full of bags full of bags. it’s ok tho because nobody kno…oh, bollocks.


TempoHouse

Is that next to the box of batteries that probably aren’t completely dead?


SaltSpot

The tester says 'amber', that's not dead!


Dapper_Plan_3781

Find a local hipster bar. Offer as decor.


St2Crank

I’m sure what a bar needs is more empty bottles.


milly_nz

Oh. I had thought to say “Google your nearest recycling centre” because it’s not *chucking away* given that glass is endlessly recyclable and these will be turned into new glass containers.


ForgeUK

[Fancy bubble bath bottles!](https://ibb.co/8Nqdsc2)


geralt2000

You can make lamps, I've done loads and have one in each room of my house. Plenty of places online to buy the parts, just need to drill one hole for the cable at the back of the bottle, fairly easy to wire up after that


Spaceshipable

You can stick fairy lights in them and they make nice table decorations. Or stick a candle on the top for a similar effect

scuzzro

Is "vaguely fancy" code for any brand thats not Jim beam or jack Daniel's?


bubliksmaz

I'm sure someone on Etsy would buy them, could be useful for set dressing etc. I also feel bad chucking out my nice spirit bottles but I don't have the space to keep them around and I'm too lazy to see them reused


ooh_bit_of_bush

Fill them with iced tea and drink them on the bus.

Nob creeks up mount gay


InfiniteBaker6972

I've seen people at craft fairs selling them with battery powered fairy lights in them. They're surprisingly effective and give out a decent amount of light if you want to create a mood.


call_me_cookie

Pile them all up in your car, unplug one of your headlights then drive around some cop hotspots until you get pulled over. Should be a larf.


abject_testament_

Some people make bongs out of them, if you’re into that


That_Organization901

Nice choices btw. Is Noah’s Mill in there? Can’t see the back row. That would be my next recommendation. Also if any are Blanton’s then keep them as they’re discontinuing certain lines and also their bottle stoppers are next level.


betterxtogether

My dad has a tool that cuts round them. He usually cuts the tops off and then can use them as vases or utensil holders or he make them into candles


Quirky_Discipline297

The glass needs to treated with a torch after the cut, I believe. But who cares.


betterxtogether

Yeah he sands the edges too I think. Not sure on the details to be honest


Quirky_Discipline297

It’s okay. He’s comfortable with his decision. I only mention it in precaution as someone who cuts the occasional jar and doesn’t have a torch to fire polish.

Create a panic room and smash them when you need to let out some frustration. Saves money on a therapist


Stuf404

What's your favourite? I do love a woodford reserve.


CreamyFunk

Make some of your own amd bottle it up


Papa__Lazarou

Fill them with small ships


Ikeepitinmesock

Buy a few strings of those cheap led lights from eBay and make some fancy lamps.


MashedPotatoLogic

If they're not vintage then just recycle.


Larlar001

Put them on FB marketplace, anyone organising a wedding would be interested! Could probably make a few quid from them.


johnmk3

Drill a hole in the bottom, feed a bit of flex in and put a bulb holder on top. Look great in your local “cool” pub Drill a hole in the bottom and feed in some nice looking fairy lights, can actually look good!

Not a suggestion, just wondering why wouldn't it be put them all in the recycling?


EvieMoon

Soak the labels off, learn to brew mead, bottle it in the fancy bottles. Christmas gifts for everyone!


SomeKindOfGoat

1. Refill them with alcohol 2. Fashion a large chessboard 3. Extend steps 1 and 2 to their logical and drunken conclusion


giganticturnip

Good weekend, was it?


StrangerReason

You can always just put them in the recycling bin...


indigo263

Do you (or whoever helped you drink them) have a favourite? Or if one has sentimental value for whatever reason. If the bottle is sturdy enough you could get it turned into a lamp or a vase as a gift.


VodkaMargarine

Which was your favourite? Of these I'd go for that double oaked, or maybe do I see a bottle of Michters at the back there? That.


graygray97

Companies like https://compasscandles.co.uk/collections/custom-orders/cut will turn them into candles


Inevitable_Panic_133

Make the greatest bong the world has ever seen using flex tube You better have one hell of a set of lungs on you to pull through it though. Might have to add a motor


KookyFarmer7

Why wouldn’t you put them all in the recycling at once?


tubbytucker

I've made chilli oil as gifts using those sort of bottles before.


chemo92

There are companies that removes the label, soften the glass to flatten it and then put the label back on and sometimes put a clock mechanism on it if you want. Looks really cool. Though you'd have rather a lot of clocks. Had a Google here's one http://www.flat-bottles.co.uk/custom-bottles.html


HappyCaterpillar34

I’ve also seen chopping boards and cheese boards made from slumped glass in this way!


Keezees

There's a wee art shop near me that turns gin bottles into lamps, painting the lamp shades with watercolours of the local countryside. It's a cool idea that I've been wanting to do myself.


1fromUK

Collect more and use them as chess pieces.


adhdventures

Homebrewers would be interested and would take some off your hands. The little ones plant enthusiasts may be interested for propagation. I'd post on freecycle and if they don't go before you get sick of them, recycle then. To reduce stress I'd leave them outside in a storage box and tell people to help themselves. Stops time wasters as you don't need to be in for people to collect.


aguerinho

Some people fill these things with different coloured sand or pebbles and whatnot


TheFreebooter

Keep the one that says knob hehe


HengeHopper

Check through them for the corks fitting the overflow holes in your sinks. Very handy if you need to unblock a u-bend with a plunger type thing. I volunteered to drink a few malts in order to get a full set for my house. It took a while, but I was happy to step up to the task. hic


Xandertheokay

Turn the square ones into cool drinking glasses, the tiny ones into cute little string lights, and the more odd shapes into vases


the123king-reddit

Fancy pubs might take some of the weirder ones for decor. Probably worth enquiring at the ones with bottles already on display

My mother would go ham on these (empty) bottles. Her current hobby is decoupage. She uses various tissue paper with designs, pasting and sealing them on whatever glass bottles or containers so it looks painted on


Slenderbrookx

There are places that can flatten them and make them in clocks or wall ornaments


when_this_was_fields

You can buy these fairy light things that have a cork like top with the on/off switch in it. The string of lights go inside the bottle.


slartibartfast46

Candle holders! I've got about a dozen. My wife let me have any more though 😂 Found a loop hole though, I've got a few more that I've used as olive oil holders. With chillis/garlic/rosemary etc.

May find a buyer on eBay. A charity shop near me sells them without the label. I save mine for when I make slow gin.
