Hmm... unbreakable pint glass?

[Draven]

Hiho - yeah yeah... As it happens I do drink beer out of the bottle, it's too valuable to put in something with such a high centre of gravity as a pint glass

That SS one does look like a winner though Could be a camping tankard too Cheers!

[hiho]

you would probably put it down too hard and break off the handle

It's the juice spilling that drives me insane I hate running out of juice, I drink any form of alcohol once in a blue moon but hate being without juice...

PS: I know an unbreakable pint glass won't solve the juice problem, but I'll feel slightly better that I don't have to clean up the glass too

Checkout German stonewear drinking mugs - I have a couple that has lasted a decade so far Can't provide any specific links, however this is what I'm on about:

Leather does feel cold as long as the drinks cold, i've just used one over the whole Moot and it was dripping on the outside because I had cold drinks inside, I can't vouch for how tough they are yet, although it's got to be a lot tougher than glass, can't put hot stuff in them though so just a rinse out with cold water.

what about the old pint style glasses, the ones with a handle on?

these things, suprisingly hard to break, unlike modern ones. tbh i miss these.

You can still get them - modern ones are rubbish, anything by the Ravenhead glassworks (since 1850) are bombproof
.......I seem to know more than I thought I would about glassware :-/

These are polycarbonate - no idea what they feel like, but they look good (but in an advert, they would, wouldn't they?).

Stoneware does look nice
I did think of those old pint glasses, we used to have a sugarbowl of similar thickness and you could lob the thing around all day and it would only damage the surroundings. It is amazing what I can do damage to though

Maybe I'll look at some old stuff in flea markets. I'll just fill it up with bleach first!

Why not just accept that they break and buy the glass mugs wholesale? Glass is the best - I even drink my tea out of a beer mug because it tastes better.

Everything else leaks weird trace metals, chemicals and even hormones.

Carry on enjoying yourself as before but have a whole crate of the mugs stashed away in the attic, cellar or wherever so you don't run out. Pub landlords and restaurant owners don't cry over a broken glass - its inevitable and the mugs are dirt cheap.

Quantity has a quality all of its own

Jeebus, seems I'm in a Russian mood this afternoon.
