Poll question: Should they sell beer in a 2 liter bottle?
Advertisements [?]
I'm beginning to think that the 12 oz beer is wasteful packaging. Whenever I go to a friend's house to drink some beer, we always end up with at least 5 empties. We might as well have had a single 2 liter bottle instead. You could consider it the equivalent of a pitcher, just waiting in your fridge.
