Beer Out of Plastic Bottles

Have you ever had something happen and thought in your head "Yes! I was right about that". I remember saying to Lucy a few months ago that in a few years time we would all be drinking wine and beer out of plastic bottles. She laughed at me. Turns out I might be right!

What the linked article neglects to mention is the massive amount of energy and raw material that goes into making glass in furnaces over 1600 degrees C (I've seen them), although a large amount of electrical energy goes into melting and blowing PET. I'd like to see someone work out the carbon saving (in fact I may do this next week).

And another bonus is that you can't smash somebody over the head with a plastic bottle on a Friday night!
