    There is no way to prove it. Thats why i dont think anyone will ever be charged for fraud for returning beer bottles that dont belong to them. Iv bought beer in the US before, brought it back to canada and returned them for the deposit. You dont even need to show ID. Iv returned beer bottles before I was legal drinking age
    no prob.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Here you go:



    Start just using your empty beer bottles and turning them into your new glasses. Follow these 5 easy steps.

    Step 1 – Grab a beer bottle preferably with thick glass such as corona bottles. Tie a string just above the label on the empty bottle.

    Step 2 – Keep the string tied and soak it in lighter fluid.

    Step 3 – Put the string back on the bottle and hold it horizontally. Light the sting rotating the bottle so the flame spreads. You should hear the bottle crack slightly in about 10 seconds.

    Step 4 – After you hear the crack, pour cold water on the string and the top of the bottle will fall off.

    Step 5 – Now grab sandpaper and sand the edges of the bottle till it is smooth.

    Alright Newman and Kramer. It may be worth it if you're willing to make those sacrifices. I can say I've thought about it a few times.

    The hardest part may be trying to explain to the border agent how you managed to accumulate 10,000 empty beer bottles while driving from Texas to Canada ; )

    Sirscrapalot - 10,000 beers on the wall, take one down, pass it around, one less to explain to the border again on the ground..

    To make that trip I recommend a black trans am and a semi with an old west themed mural painted on the side!

    Tried this recently. Very hard to get a straight edge. But still really cool!!
