Today on household hacker, an oldie but goodie. Drinking glasses from beer bottles.

Adverbs of degree

To make your own customized drinking glasses, you really don’t need too many materials.

We’ll start with a little tupperware container and place it on a sturdy countertop.

Next we’ve got to get a flammable liquid as we will be essentially weakening the bottle’s

integrity with flame. I will be using Isopropyl alcohol which is easily obtained at a grocery

store. Pour it into the container and we can continue on to the next step.

If you don’t have any empty bottles well then this step should prove to be quite fun.

Drink a beverage of your choice and place the bottle near the container.

We just need a little string now… I am using some yarn I found in my grandmother’s basement.

Cut off enough string to wrap around the bottles a few time and soak it in liquid for a minute

While it is soaking, get another container or just use your sink and fill it with cold

water. Once we ignite the bottle we will be placing it in to the cold water bath to help

until the flame burns out. I highly suggest doing this near water to stay on the safe

So bottoms up and have fun, just remember to keep it safe and wear proper protection
