    Being quite an anorak, I keep the majority of the beer I consume (some inevitably are thrown out), and display them on shelving. What do you guys do once you have finished a bottle?

    Recycle. Saving some of the cooler ones for the kiln, to see what happens.

    Recycle them...that $.10 deposit really adds up when you go through 100+ bottles a month.

    Save them, then return them so I can save some money when buying more beer. Nothing better then saving enough then you end up getting a free 6pck.

    I'm from MI, so I pay a 10 cent deposit on all bottles, and then return them (which then discounts my next beer/liquor purchase). I do have some bombers on display, but not a whole lot.

    I build a pyramid in the middle of the room. Whoever knocks them over buys for the night.

    If it's my first time drinking the beer, I save the bottle, otherwise I recycle.

    I remove the labels and have a sort of scrap book of all my beer labels. Then I just recycle all the bottles. It's nice to have something to keep to remember all the beers you've had and such, but without the need for all the space required for saving the entire bottles.
