sipping from the neck seems common but i say from a decent clean glass is better ,you can savour the flavour and rolling it around in a bigger swig .

drinking from the neck has become a diabolical habit imo

I'm not fussy..

It seems to stay colder for longer in a bottle.

I only drink from glass, it is sold in glass................. perfect.

You never know what has pissed on the bottle.

I prefer a glass - not so bothered about it being cold and ice well that's just wrong. I have a couple of gift with purchase beers glasses at home, I wish I brought them there is something about drinking Chimay from a Chimay glass.

Edit: forgot to add the FIL uses the bottles as an ashtray so I prefer not to drink from them

Lager from the bottle, ale from a glass.

Always and only from a glass where my eyes can savour the froth and colour and texture. Last week i was drinking a very nice German cloudy wheat beer bought from Central, cannot imagine drinking from the can or bottle.

Drinking from a bottle is not the done thing, youngsters do it because they afraid ti ask for a glass or they think its "cool".

Civilised people drink from a glass, preferably one without chips out of it.

You can't drink real ale from from a bottle unless they have decided to bottle to improve sales, but then people have to be taught how to behave and appreciate the delights that life has to offer and its not drinking out of a bottle, babies do that.

I expect that this subject is not taught in Thai schools so there is no benefit for the locals here.

Anyone seen drinking from a bottle should be shot, apart from babies.

I would drink it out anything. I remember once drinking it out the bottle after the bottle had smashed and cutting my lips.

Years ago there was a study done on free peanuts on a bar.

Basically they were tested (the left overs) and had something like 5 traces of different piss on them from where people went for a lash, didn't wash and stick their pissy fingers in the bowl!! Yuck.

Anyway, I prefer from the bottle as if in a glass I drink to fast and get too lashed up!

But in UK I drink pints not bottled beer.

If you don't mind cockroach and chitchat shit or rats piss then by all means drink from

the bottle, but I recommend you check where the bottles are stored in your preferred

drinking hole and I have seen many times in many places all of the above crawling all

over the stored beers. I prefer my beer in a chilled clean glass if possible.

I put my lips on the part of the bottle that has been covered by the cap, not sure why one needs to stick any more of the bottle into their mouth.

that's an urban myth:

You would be suprised what is contained in some of the foods you eat. An example I am familiar with is ice cream. I had a girlfriend in Australia who worked in QC at a factory which manufactured ice cream. She once showed me the "QC bible" in which was listed the various tests and max permitted levels of a variety of substances. One substance was foreign protein contamination. The allowable levels aproximated one cockroach per 100l of icecream manufactured. That figure always stayed with me and I doubt things are any differant in other countries.

I remember a couple of cases of this in the past. Colm Flynn, Irish rugby player being one fatality.

It is possible but highly unlikely to catch leptospirosis from drinking out of a can or bottle. If the item is still wet from the infected rat urine, it is possible. Once the urine has dried the bacteria dies.

Long as it's cold I'm good.

coke machines are dirty. Cockroaches enjoy living in them when it's hot outside.

I am fussy, drinking beer from a glass is more tasteful than from the bottle, Belgian beer is one of the best, you do not drink it from the bottle, it is a sin

Exactly - I cringe whenever I see some macho type drinking directly from the bottle in Thailand.

Leptospirosis is a major problem here, a major source is rat urine - and as anyone who has been around the Bar areas knows, rats are everywhere, particularly in the storage areas.

In addition there is often a ring or rust under the car which is left on the bottle when the cap is removed.

Drinking from a glass is both far safer and far more civilised!

i say from a decent clean glass is better

some people couldn't care less what you say and drink their beer as they please.

personally i wouldn't drink out of a "decent clean" glass but insist on a 100% clean glass. in Thailand the latter is never guaranteed because the glasses are washed with tap water. no 100% clean tap water = no 100% clean glass. glasses can be contaminated in many ways.

the content of a beer bottle can only be contaminated in a brewery. insist that the bottle is opened in your presence... case closed.

Beer snobs... I will take it right out of the bottle no problem. If there is rat piss on my bottle, in my many, many, MANY YEARS of drinking straight from the bottle, I have never noticed--or cared!--or gotten sick--ever.

Whatever doesn't kill me...

Don't know why, but you have a pint, er, point.

Althoughif I could get one right about now instead of Chang, I'd drink an ale from a mop bucket.

Half the Thai beers taste like rat piss anyway.

It's the content over form which matters.

Who am I kidding, drinking Leo. It's the cheap price, moderate taste, together with enough ethanol to kill the slowest synapses to make me absolutely fabulous.

aussies drink from a bucket on Samui and do ok
