Wow
 
In trying to change some things, I decided to go throw away my super secret hidden stash of empties I had in my garage. I would hide vodka bottles out there and sneak out when I could to take a tug. I bet none of you ever thought of that, huh?

I shocked even myself when I had them all collected. I literally had about 10 liters of empty vodka bottles and a couple empty wine bottles (and I don't really even care for wine). I'm both disgusted and flabbergasted.

They really mount up thats for sure. It's immensely satisfying for get rid of them tho :)

Well done for clearing them out.

I live alone so don't have to hide anything which in some ways is worse as nobody is watching or cares what I drink.

Oh boy, 4 years of hard drinking and over 7 acres and 6 huge buildings to hide bags upon bags of bottles and cans in... It took me over a year to take in all my empties at my 75$ weekly deposit return limit (that's about 7 to 10 large garbage bags full) plus by that point I just used all my bottle return money to pay for my booze, so...
At least I wasn't the only one doing the drinking at the time. Just most of it.

Anyhow. Know how you feel. We still find empties shoved into the weirdest places. It's embarassing.

Yup, I'm glad to see them go. I just don't want to hear them when they get dumped into the garbage truck this week.

And while typing this, I just thought of the locations of a couple more. Yikes!
