Drinking from plastic vessels

[mashman]

Dunno about you guys, but I've always found that my drink goes flatter and gets warmer more quickly when in a plastic container... that and it just doesn't taste right.

"The traditional vessel is already outlawed in nightclubs in the Highlands, which are forced to serve all drinks – including champagne, cocktails and the finest malt whiskies – in plastic containers after 9pm because of police fears over potential injury."

Coz no one uses knives or knuckle dusters or fists or boots etc... :facepalm: Poor Scotland, test bed of the UK's fucked up right whinge.

The peoples' republic of Jockistan? Right wing?

I think Blenheim's Blues & Brews is dying because the Police have stopped them using glasses...Wine & Food festival are still alllowed to use glass though!

Nooooo, them white folk in the building with the posh clock doon sooth that maketh the law.

If it was that much of an issue to me I'd buy stainless steel drinking vessels to take to drinking events.

I can understand the cops or them on the hill being worried about glass though.

I've seen three people glassed myself and a local guy I talk to through work now an then had his throat cut with a broken bottle last weekend,,,,while on a work fishing trip. :pinch:

Plastic cup + beer = faggot

Stitch this Jimmmia.


heck its better than drinking out of a broken bottle cause we didn't have an opener & we were teenagers .

[bosslady]

yes this is why I don't like soft drinks from plastic bottles they warm up and lose their fizz quicker. Prefer cans, then glass, then plastic.

Well that's what ya get for trying to be cultured... shoulda been drinkin your wine from a screw capped bottle. Snob.

[dino3310]

just drink it faster before it goes flat, after a while ya wont care what it tastes like

:rofl: that sounds like a conspiracy theory to me and an awfully dangerous habit to promote...

Meths comes in a screw top bottle... :drinknsin:

Dear god. It's a Chemtrails thread.

Homoeopathic residues should be more of a worry than plastic containers. But tell that to the knobs who spend a fortune buying their water in plastic bottles.

I heard every drop of water you drink has been through a dinosaurs cock 7 times. The plastic is the least of your worries bud!

WTF are you whittering on about?

The thread's hypothesis appears to be along the lines of the qualities of fizzy and other liquid beverages having intangible qualities dissipated by exposure to plastic containers. My counter is that that is Patent Horseshit(TM).

Intangible? I clearly stated the effects that I have witnessed. And what evidence do you have to backup you're Patent Horseshit(TM) claim?

Consistently repeatable, predictable occurrences with valid supporting data should carry more weight than eye-witness accounts.

An inert solid material, whether that be plastic, metal, glass, marble, onyx, obsidian or perspex, is exactly that: inert and solid.

To be making a measurable difference to the qualities of any liquid contained within, then the storage material may be solid but not inert.

And thanks for sharing your view that I am Patent Horseshit. It's not a claim that I make about myself, so I have not collected any supporting evidence.

My observation was not a one off. It is something I have noted and something that has been commented upon by many at various gatherings where plastic pint glasses have been used.

I cite the conductive properties of the storage material as the reason for the change in liquid qualities.

heh heh heh

There was no such thing back in the day, perhaps Casks, but we were limited to what we could misappropriate from our parent's stash.

Well we should all be thankful of those residues. Homoepathy relies on such extreme dilutions that all liquid on the planet should be entirely homepathic by now.

Drink up. Its good for you.




Plastic feels warm on the lips & the thin edge of disposable cups feel nasty. That's all it is. But that's reason enough.

Bull shit. Beer out of a can tastes different than beer out of a bottle. Both are inert right? so how does that work?

Don't you usually drink your wine straight from the cardboard box:bleh:

for a start; blind test both out of a glass.

Age is a big thing with beer. Also is light strike. Different plants making the same brew can taste different. Which sucks as it screwed up Montieths Golden which hasn't been good for a decade. used to have quite a nutty taste. sigh.

[bogan]

Then both are beer out of glasses, how is that relevant? This thread was about drinking at clubs from plastic or something before hitcher doddered off on some rant about homeopathic dinosaur piss...

[F5 Dave]

Merely rem,oving the bottle & the can from the mix.

So my previous point probably is that the perceived warmth & texture of the vessel aperture probably has more effect on the experience rather than the vessel changing the flavour.

Quite right, which would be fine if those materials were only used for transport. But if the only vessel available is plastic, then the flavor change is quite real and unavoidable.

[F5 Dave]

erm not sure what you are getting at. Are you agreeing that it is a perception if you have a plastic glass?

So if someone pours a beer into a plastic mug & you take a sip & then pour that mug into a glass & sip it will not change the flavour or any physical quality of the liquid, but change your perception of the flavour.

Does it matter? Isn't flavour just a perception anyway?

You naughty boy. Probably easier to do than replacing a wee bit of vodka with water though.

The test: fill 2 pints "glasses", one normal one and one plastic one and drink them simultaneously over the usual period of time. Repeat until you are unable to tell the difference, then call the wife, tell her that you love her, really really love her, and that you're about to go clubbin.
