The great thing about Gatorade bottles is that after you use them it still

looks like Gatorade ;-) >>

There is an inherent and obvious risk to this. My punk brother used to have a crew of cretins who liked to party and chew snuff. It worked well because an empty bottle became a handy spitoon. Except for one lone Miller drinker, this group of hellraisers drank Budweiser.

One night I was allowed into this Inner Circle of snuff-sucking, Bud-quafing ne'er-do-wells long enough to drink a few beers and swap a few lies. Noticing the growing pile of Bud empties/spitoons and only a few of the clear glass Miller empties, I asked if the Miller outcast was too good to drink Bud. After a bunch of guffaws, I heard the story behind his singular taste.

It seems he awoke one morning to an apartment strewn with the trash from a party the previous night. He was hungover with a helluva set of hot pipes. In the morning darkness, as he stumbled through the living room he spied a half full bottle of Bud perched on the corner of the coffee table. He picked it up and started to chug it down. It took only a couple full bore gulps to convince him to only drink from clear bottles in the future.
