No idea if this works, but it looks like something I've got to try out :tup:

Glassware can get pretty expensive especially if you’re in college and always getting shit faced and breaking your glasses. Start just using your empty beer bottles and turning them into your new glasses. Look dope, easy to make and cheap! 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.

That's kinda cool, but they'd be awfully small glasses :-k

When I was a kid, I had a kit similar to this to make glasses from bottles. http://www.amazon.com/USA-Wholesaler-10968925-Bottle-Cutter-/dp/B00GG6Y224/ref=sr_1_36?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1390997250&sr=1-36&keywords=bottle+cutter

Might work OK for booze bottles, beer bottles are way too thin and fragile.

Beer bottles have to hold carbonation pressure

Not with those Stone ones, those are 22 oz, and they have the best looking bottles. I got to give this a whirl.

that's what I'm remembering...some sort of K-Tel glass maker kit that used the same cutting device and buffing materials.
