Drinking from jars

[Anonymous No.10589650]

Why do americans do this?
Can you not afford glassware, are you scared of going into an IKEA for some quality Bulgarian made drinking glasses?

[Anonymous No.10589657]

it's kewl because it's reminiscent of moonshine culture

[Anonymous No.10589659]

>>10589650
I do this a lot but it's more because I actually can things on a regular basis and so have several dozen mason jars of varying sizes laying around. Never really made sense to go out of my way to spend extra money on glasses just because it's "proper" or whatever.

This. Anyone that cans much just drinks out of these, it isn't to be hipster. I was drinking out of them before hipsters knew they existed.

[Anonymous No.10589671]

Because americans are responsible consumers and would rather reuse a bottle than be wasteful and throw it away.

Lets be honest.
The average american either lives in an apartment or a trailer and is not exactly canning things.
Like, i can understand if you actually do this because you have them around anyway and you dont worry about having proper stemware anyway.
I'm more on about the way that drinking from a jar seems to be a thing that people just do, even if they are obviously millennial desk chair workers living in a shitty one room apartment in a building made from wood.

>>IKEA
>>Quality made
Some of that stuff is Bormioli Rocco, crystal clear venetian glass, and of decent quality. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean bad, just bulk purchased and competitive pricing.

OP, most people do it for the old-timey element of it all, and that it holds quite a few ounces. The jars fit in the dishwasher and get clean. Though I don't do it at home where i'd prefer to get a vacuum insulated tumbler for a large quantity of an iced beverage, I don't mind it in a restaurant where I know that I won't be searching for a waiter for an iced tea refill any time soon.

I have a dishwasher so i can place old glass jars in it and they come out clean. Glass is glass, i can also store hot liquids in them, reductions and other such lovelies.
Also reused glass jars are stronger then IKEA drinking glasses so they are less likely to break.
Win super win. If it triggers you all the more win for me.

Because my grandma used to do a lot of canning and had like 200 mason jars just sitting around so she gave away enough that we have no need for any other drinking vessels.

I live in South Carolina and I went to high school with a kid who would bring a jar of juice and water to school everyday. He participated in Civil War re-enactments on the weekends so I assumed it was something he learned there and thought it was cool

Mason jars are also cheap as hell, you can get them for less than a dollar apiece frequently plus they come with lids that you can use to seal them with. It's simultaneously a storage container and a glass, whatever you need it to be.

I dont know what 3rd world country you're from, but most Americans don't drink from Mason jars. Not only have I never met someone other than my mother who does this, but I live in the south where this would be prevelent. Like others have said, the only people who do this are people who can a ton of shit and a restaurant I've been to called The Mason Jar serves drinks in Mason jars.
And really, is your country so poor you can't afford Mason jars and you have to come online to tell the Americans how fucking cool they are? God I would hate live in Ethiopia

Clappyfat here, I've been gifted a few things in mason jars such as homemade jams or local honey, and I still have them lying around, I use them for water when the other glasses are dirty and I'm too lazy to wash. It's not like I'm drinking 1er cru burgs out of mason jars, I have riedel and spiegelau glassware for that.

Unironically admit a hipster stole your squeeze although neither he nor she were based canners, they were pretenders. They probably canned once together when you were at work and then jumped into your bed, lol, and you were left with a few jars of canned tomatoes and a fuckload of debt when she fucked you over.

You can get permission to operate a still from the feds, but they're still illegal in a fuckton of states.

State governments are often really lame about food and liquor laws. Among other things. Hell I can't even import my favorite beer into this hellhole because I'm one of, I believe 4 states, that does not allow private purchase directly to citizens. It has to be to a liquor store then to a person.

I'm just poor and want something versitile. Jars are portable containers. When I'm done with my sweet iced tea, I can rinse it out and use it as a shit jar to go nicely with my piss bottles, since I like to make sure they're the nice, old wine bottles with the cork attached. It's very rustic.

I can get lucky and find an antique shop around me in rural VA, old people sell them to the place and I can buy a crate of 24 for $12 if they have excess, they're literally the only thing I drink out of because I'm very careful how I spend my shit since I work in a kitchen and put a lot of money towards my music hobby

Almost nobody dies from methanol these days save hobos or desperates drinking denatured spirits YOUR GOVERNMENT puts methanol in to discourage their drinking. Modern moonshine fatalities are unheard of unless it goes up in flames, which is the real reason why they're "strict on them", it's nothing to do with poison. You could freeze distill shit and poison yourself without the government seriously batting an eye, BECAUSE IT IMPACTS NOBODY ELSE'S LIFE.

Dude, it's solely tax revenue. It's easy and safe as hell to distill liquor, but the man wants a big cut. Same with weed, a native plant which you can't grow because it cuts into our alc revenue base.
