To all the drinker of Presidente Beer
Not to mention the fact that the glass beer bottle is refillable, and therefore causes less of a waste problem, whereas plastic beer bottles in the DR simply go to litter or the trash heap.
bottoms up, but "let's not forget the reason" why the Presidente company is making this move for... "According to Melo, the new bottle will encourage family and friends to get together during the holidays." Sort of gathering around a fire. Long live Presidente!...
"Sorry Bill,"Plastic" does not keep the beer colder"!
It may "chill" faster in a plastic container,but once out of the "fridge",it will warm much faster in plastic than glass.The glass has more "mass",and will hold the "cold" longer.I like the 7 oz., "Presidentes",ice cold,two "swigs" take out another one! :cross-eye

It's good to know that Presidente reuses the bottles, and it's certainly possible my casual observations are faulty, since I've generally consumed a few when I have made them. It just seems to me that a lot of the bottles end up in the trash. With the solid waste disposal problems indemic to any island, anything that can be recycled/reused is a plus.
People with wheelbarrows come to your home to buy empties off you & are really chuffed when you refuse the 1/2 peso per bottle, or whatever it is! They also take your rum bottles which are also reused........sometimes for other purposes (no not molotov cocktails, but for trementina, white spirits, etc). But try giving them a fancy brandy bottle or a wine bottle..........no dice!
The beer bottles you've seen thrown on the trash will be rescued next day by a kid looking to make a few centavos. All trash here is usually usable by someone. Try throwing out defunct electrical items & boy, it is party time round your trash bin!
If when you move here, you hear the cry 'botellERo' it means the bottle man is in your street to collect your empties.
