    I've noticed that after i pour a beer, if i let the bottle sit for a few minutes, i can pour it again and get maybe another .5 - 1oz out of the bottle. I guess this is the beer that coated the side of the bottle when I turned the bottle upside down for the initial pour.

    I'm sure i'm not the first person to realize this but I noticed it about a few months back and I'm tickled pink every time i do it. Free beer.

    I get a few drops, maybe 1/4 ounce at most, not enough for a mouse. Maybe we pour differently.

    Apparently you do not use chewing tobacco indoors. Otherwise, that "bonus pour" would have, at some point in time, turned out fairly awful if you failed to track your spit bottle correctly.

    This, along with bees getting into my beer can while outside, are my two my biggest beer-drinking fears.

    It's not free...you paid for that shit...you were just being wasteful previously.

    For better results, put the bomber on it's side after you've had your pour. For those of you who remember unclejedi, his wife taught us this trick (a real, live rocket scientist!) It had something about the greater surface area of the glass gathering the remnants of the beer. Usually there's enough for a small gulp afterwards.

    I always just rinse the bottle and put it in the recycles. Wonder how many gallons I've wasted.

    Lol.

    As someone who hates waste (and a gross recycle bin) I let the bottle hang out and then pour the last dribbles as I get toward the end of the beer.

    Ah, beer geek neurosis.

    Just hold the tip of the bottle against the glass. Then you only have to pour once.
