When nearly everything else, Including but not limited to, carbonated drinks, milk, ketchup, mayonnaise, fruit juices, etc., is sold in plastic containers?
IME Hard liquor and wine are always sold in glass containers. Bear can be either bottles or can.
( havent had anything to drink in years so some of the stuff mightve changed.)

(102,283 posts)Not a problem if you are using TOPICAL isopropyl or other alcohol, but I surely wouldn't want to DRINK it.
I'm sure there will be those who say they've seen it or bought it and I'm sure there is a market for it, but my points remain. Plastic leaches.

Basically, wine in a plastic bottle has a shelf life of 6 months or less.

(36,827 posts)Turns out it was plastic. The guy who did it was shocked at the discovery and the dude who was clocked initially thought he had been hit with a glass bottle. Both just stood there giving each other dumb looks for a moment until the chaos resumed.

Within seconds, he felt a puddle of liquid forming around him. The Deplorable looked up.
"Dear God," he said, "please let that be blood."

(65,058 posts)The little "airline" size things are nearly all plastic now, and the box wines have a plastic bladder in them.
Now, as to beer, the only plastic container i've ever seen are those mini-kegs. But don't recall ever seeing a 12 or 16 ounce container of beer in plastic.
