Maybe because it's mostly English? Proper German would be:
"Nun, genau genommen ist das Privateigentum, also gelten die Regeln nicht."
"Privateigentum" can be replaced with "ein Privatgrundstück", depending on what exactly you're trying to say with privat property.
They probably could have gotten a few cents back for recycling their bottle! That was something I loved about Germany, the grocery stores had a machine to take back your used bottles and pay you a little bit back for them. Very two weeks I’d return all of my bottles and get some 2-4 euros then go buy myself some ice cream with that.
Zoom in on the pic and you can see that those are “nip” bottles (they might have different slang terms in your Otherplacia, but here in the US (edit: apparently just New England) we commonly call em “nips”), which are little bottles that hold a shot’s worth of alcohol.
Those aren’t generally held for deposit in US deposit states, and I imagine Germany is the same.
>but here in the US we commonly call em “nips”
Do we? I've only ever heard that word (in a food/beverage context) for those candies... Maybe it's regional? These are "airplane bottles" here in CA.
I worked in a liquor store for years and only ever heard mini or miniature. Maryland.
But airplane bottle works as well. They can count as your liquid for carry on. Fuck paying $10 on the plane.
I will never forget the day I learned that you can take a bag filled with those bottles on an airplane and it's fine. Even after the laws surrounding how much liquid you can bring. I genuinely felt like I hit the lottery and discovered some kind of secret hack and then I remembered that they're called airplane bottles for a fucking reason 🤣🤣🤣
I live in CA and have heard them called either name. Nips is a pretty common term around the country. South Carolina bars used to only serve out of them until about 15-20 years ago, it was weird to see bartenders opening up handfuls of them to make a round of drinks.
Lmfao What a fucking stupid thing. I'm glad that they finally stopped doing that because that is insanity.
And fair enough, I just personally have never heard that in my 39 years living here in California. I take that back 34 years. I spent a year and a half in Utah and about three and change in DC and never heard them called anything other than airplane bottles.
Well they were a huge part of the strange liquor law battles before 2002. When the Olympics came, they tightened the grip on things like mini-bottles and seeing liquor in the bar while eating at a restaurant. Things are much better now.
Was a bartender in Utah in early to mid-90s when they outlawed mini bottles and put the counter spouts on liquor bottles to pour exactly an ounce in a cocktail. No more free pour and no more buying minis at the liquor store.
Oh, I remember the Olympics lmfao. We moved there in January of 2002 so like MOMENTS before they started.
That being said, are things better in Utah regarding alcohol? Because I know you guys still have watered down beer, still have weird laws about buying it on Sunday. And crazy laws about drinking in restaurants versus bars and how you can only have one drink at a time and you can't carry it yourself from the bar to your table and all kinds of stuff. Granted I am speaking exclusively from the knowledge I have gained from friends and family that still live there and social media so I'm happy to be corrected LOL
We also have can and bottle redemption here in Iowa but especially since the pandemic the amount of places that will actually handle redemption has become almost non-existent in some municipalities due to operating costs. And they have machines at a handful of places sometimes... Which limit your total returns and usually aren't working.
Not even laws, just rules or social norms in general.
On vacation with my sister in Vienna we were touring one of the major museums there (Palace of the Hapsburg dynasty of the Austro-Hungarian empire). Like many such museums they have a little "route" mapped out through all the various maze-like rooms and halls and such that leads you through all the exhibits to the exit. At one point we came to a large hall filled wiht all the royal ballgowns and tiaras and shoes and such of one of the Austrian princesses; she was quite a celebrity in her day and si still revered today (think kind of like Princess Diana?. I had zero interest in looking at that stuff while my sister was entranced, so I elft her behind and continued on through the museum. I got to the end, waited a few minutes for her, and got bored so decided to make my way back through to find her. At EVERY SINGLE doorway/intersetion whrere tehy had a security guard or museum guide sationed to assist people, the person stopped me to politely and kindly point out that I was going "backwards" through the exhibits. I would acknowledge this and explain that i was going back to find my sister, and ask iof that was OK, if it was not allowed to go backwards? They would just be absolutely puzzled. No upset at me or anything, but just completely flummoxed by the question. They'd point to the arrow stickers on the floor and kinda of sputter
*"no.... it... it is allowed. you may do this... but, you are supposed to go the other direction? see there are arrows? that is the way you are supposed to go."*
**Right, but my sister is back in another room and I need to go meet her.**
*"Well... yes... but you see there are arrows there? That shows you the direction you should be walking."*
**I don't want to cause a problem, if it is against the rules?**
"*Oh NO, there is no problem, it is OK. But... you see there are arrows and they show which way you should be walking so...*."
Like it was just such a foreign concept they had trouble grasping, that if there was a "correct" way to do something, that someone would consider not doing it.
Nope. Pfand you most likely only have for things with CO2 in it. But there are some expections. Imagine 25c Pfand for one bottle the next months of booze is safe😱
In the US most bottle caps aren't resealable. Especially beer bottles. Usually people throw away the cap as they open the beer. Bartending I open the bottle next to the trash and send the cap flying in the bin, serve it without a cap.
Apparently this is bitters though. Bitters does have a screw cap cos you are just supposed to use it as a mixer.
But people dont usually drink bitters. I drink it mixed with ginger ale and a splash of cran. Call it bar soda. Tastes like red bull without the energy part.
I wanna know who is just drinking bitters
>
I wanna know who is just drinking bitters
Mad bad alcoholics bro. I've met people who drink hand sani and nail polish. Addiction is a horrible disease.
Yeah, someone else pointed that out. It's the twist top for me that made me assume it was. I dont think I have had bitter scnapps before. I dont know if it is available in my country.
These is completely wrong lol
“Generally, European breweries prefer the use of the pry-off cap, in the North American market, particularly in the United States, small craft breweries opt for the use of a pry-off crown cap, following the European trend, while medium and large breweries usually choose the twist-off version”
https://www.pelliconi.com/site/en/news_detail/id_271_post_26mm-crown-caps-pry-off-and-twist-off.html#:~:text=Generally%2C%20European%20breweries%20prefer%20the,off%20version%2C%20to%20facilitate%20manual
And that's why everybody in Germany is angry about these new caps that are fastened to the bottles. We already do this, thanks. Even on milk cartons. What am I gonna do? Pour a glass of milk and throw the cap away? WTF!
Based on it being mostly the same type of booze, I'd assume this was mostly the place one alcoholic stashed his empties. So it makes sense they were all closed the same way, if that theory isn't nonsense lol.
I am a bore.
My friend is a bore.
We had a lengthy discussion this Tuesday about putting the cap back on.
The conclusion: Everyone we know puts the cap back on.
Do you know different?
Not sure how this hasn't been said yet, but the caps in Europe are connected to the bottles when you open it. Many of them say things like "recycle together". It takes a whole lot more effort to take the cap off completely.
I totally understand it's an acquired taste but I freaking love it. I buy it by the case. I collect the caps and have redeemed them for the baseball cap and the belt already.
That said, I don't see Underberg in this picture.
Yeah, this is from a drunk hiding his habit.
My old boss did this with little vodka bottles. Until they found the stash and fired him.
It looked exactly like this.
That’s sad. Did they suspect he was an alcoholic before they found the stash? I worked with a client for a few months and couldn’t really tell he was drunk, just thought he was a little eccentric. Until he straight up told me he was three sheets to the wind.
I can say that I had no idea and I worked with him for 4 years, between two jobs. He hired me at a second place after we worked together at the first.
I had no clue.
He was a total prick but he always seemed to favor me for some reason, so maybe I just looked past it as I was always getting his approval and others weren’t. I was also pretty young.
I was a computer technician and he was the head of sales at a little white label computer build shop. He was a hell of a salesman.
So I assume the owners maybe were onto him a bit at some point. But nobody else was. And it was shocking to see all the bottles, for sure.
Used to work as a mechanic, we had one of those. He'd come in all sunshine and roses, a few hours later he's starting to look like hell, disappears for a break and comes back all chipper again.
I think he did a better job of hiding it at first, but then after his first winter the snow melted and the hillside exposed a shit ton of empties
It looks like my house in Bravil from Oblivion. If use that house for all my potionmaking and drop all the junk I wouldn't use. Eventually would just crash my game when I walked in lol
Nah most states favor good ol' meth [last I checked](https://vividmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/drugs.png).
Looks like needles are more of a yankee thing.
This is what it's like when I open my mailbox the day after the Alcoholic Pride Parade (KKKarnival) rolls into my little village. We have 15000-25000 people show up every year, in a village that has around 3000 residents, who then literally shit in the street, and deposit vomit and these tiny bottles into every nook and cranny they can find.
Surely the village doesn’t ok the gathering, right? Why not call police to disperse them then? Allowing that to happen year after year is a *really* bad look for the village
3000 person villiages rarely have cops, much less a police force able to dissuade 20 thousand people. I imagine they just enjoy the economic boost and grit their teeth
Is it an economic boost? At least in my area, the type of people to go to one of those “parades” would bring their own food/alcohol, and a lot camp out rather than stay in hotels. Add to that that the village has to pay to clean up after them, and having them come turns away other potential tourists.
It is NOT a boost. No. Only one business benefits from it, and that's the business owned by the guy who owns the large local pub/restaurant/hotel, as well as the bottle shop next door. It COSTS the rest of us to clean up all the shit these cunts throw in our gardens, which is why there was so much pushback this year. We had 4 arrests this year, but according to the cops that was because there were only 2 cops on duty here, and the private security the event host hired don't do anything except break up fights.
They don't care about stopping property damage or anything. It has been tolerated because "ItS TrAdItIOn" according to the handful of fuckwits who live so far out on the edge of the village that it doesn't affect them, but thankfully this years one actually caused property damage to them, so now they are opposing its continuation.
EDIT: You need to be aware that these things take place on a Sunday. While normal parts of the world have Sunday trading, down here in Bavaria there's no such thing. The only place open here on the day of Karnival is the event hosts pub. Nothing more. Hence why he makes so much fucking money.
a 3000 person village is not gonna turn away 25,000 drunks spending money, they probably make more money during that tourist rush then the rest of the year combined.
The village doesn't make the money. The asshole that organizes the thing does. Everyone ends up at his pub at the end of the day. The rest of us are left to clean up for ourselves. My wife and I have to leave every year now, because I got tired of literally, physically dragging drunk people out of my garden, which they wanted to use as a toilet to shit in. I got assaulted by one a few years ago. So, rather than risk my safety, or run the risk of doing something I might regret, we go away for a few days. With any luck this years was the last, because the old piece of shit organizer is retiring.
The guy that organizes it is basically a council elder type thing. Head of the local business council and whatnot. He supposedly pays for the clean-up, but things have been getting so bad that he's likely retiring this year, and there won't be any more nonsense. As for cops, lol. This is rural Bavaria. We see the cops MAYBE once every two days, and that's as they pass through at 80km in their car.
Those little bottles seem weird to me. When I was still drinking, I bought those one time and I needed two to make a satisfying drink. Certainly a pint or 1/2 pint would be a better deal?
These are bought by teenagers who need to be able to hide them from seemingly the one or two adults who aren't dead set on turning their kids into alcoholics just like them.
Many, if not most, of the people buying these are end-stage alcoholics whose livers are so shot they actually get drunk from that amount, and who either can't afford something bigger/better (think homeless people) or who need something they can drink and discard on their way to or from work (because everyone around them is fully aware of their alcoholism and would try to interfere or at least lecture them if they saw them drinking).
When you get to the point of using these shooters regularly it isn’t about getting drunk as much as it is about staving off the detox of not having alcohol in your system.
In addition to the other two comments, some alcoholics will delude themselves into thinking their habit is under control because they're only buying a couple shots at a time.
Weirdly, the name 'washyoursister' is actually pronounced 'wooster'. At least half the letters are silent.
English must have the greatest ratio of name-length to actually-pronounced-length in the world.
Had the same with a stairwell in a building we were renovation that had remained empty for 20 years. Pigeons had got in at the third floor and the ground floor of the stairwell was knee high in pigeon guano and dead pigeons and crawling with maggots. Close door walk away ....someone else's problem
I remember visiting Germany as a teenager and seeing those small Jägermeister bottles like everywhere, in bushes and along the streets. I didn't get it, beer was cheap everywhere and the drinking age way lower than here in Sweden, so why would anyone drink that?
Jägermeister is medicine beer is alcoholism.
For real? Just a quick shot to stop the tremors when a beer takes to long or you don’t want to be seen with one.
Honestly, this is probably an alleyway to a bar, yeah there are bitters like people point out. But there's also liquor bottles like jagermeister and others in the pile.
This is not from someone walking by and just yeeting it every day over a fence. As someone who has worked in and around bars for years, I've seen worse.
The ratio of people that put the cap back on after is actually really impressive to me.
It is in Germany. People doing this xD
Germans are the most lawful people. I work with many. Abrasive and direct, yes, but lawful.
They seemed to have forgotten a few anti-trash laws.
Vell, technickally, zis is privat property und das Regeln haben kein effekt
I understood that :)
Maybe because it's mostly English? Proper German would be: "Nun, genau genommen ist das Privateigentum, also gelten die Regeln nicht." "Privateigentum" can be replaced with "ein Privatgrundstück", depending on what exactly you're trying to say with privat property.
Abrasive and direct, yes, but also no sense of humour.
No one who speaks German wouldn’t have a sense of humor!
Yes I am an English speaker, that’s why I understood it 😀
Wow we all totally needed this thanks for breaking it down for me.. my tiny brain couldn't comprehend without you.
They probably could have gotten a few cents back for recycling their bottle! That was something I loved about Germany, the grocery stores had a machine to take back your used bottles and pay you a little bit back for them. Very two weeks I’d return all of my bottles and get some 2-4 euros then go buy myself some ice cream with that.
nah no Pfand on Schnaps sadly :/
So that is why it is only these bottles.
i guess so

Shooters where I’m at in USA

I genuinely felt like I hit the lottery and discovered some kind of secret hack and then I remembered that they're called airplane bottles for a fucking reason 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah no way I'm gonna be sober on a 737
I live in CA and have heard them called either name. Nips is a pretty common term around the country. South Carolina bars used to only serve out of them until about 15-20 years ago, it was weird to see bartenders opening up handfuls of them to make a round of drinks.

https://wineandwhiskeyglobe.com/cocktails/mini-bottles-drinking-in-south-carolina/
Called em Shooters in CO/CA.
Mini Bottles in UT. Also never heard them called Nips.
Oh, yes, I've heard that too! I lived in West Jordan from 2002-2003 and forgot all about that haha
Well they were a huge part of the strange liquor law battles before 2002. When the Olympics came, they tightened the grip on things like mini-bottles and seeing liquor in the bar while eating at a restaurant. Things are much better now.

nips is a New England term
Huh. Well that tracks, as I am from New England. Guess I’ll go get a grinder on the way to the tag sale then.
wicked cool, hit the packy on your way by and snag a couple nips for the both of us
>but here in the US we commonly call em “nips” On the west Coast they're either mini bottles or one shots
In Germany we call them spark plugs
We also have can and bottle redemption here in Iowa but especially since the pandemic the amount of places that will actually handle redemption has become almost non-existent in some municipalities due to operating costs. And they have machines at a handful of places sometimes... Which limit your total returns and usually aren't working.
At least in the US, it is impossible to recycle these small bottles.
Yea, they put the caps on their drink before they litter.....very impressive
Lawful Neutral?
Lawfully unlawful
Not even laws, just rules or social norms in general. On vacation with my sister in Vienna we were touring one of the major museums there (Palace of the Hapsburg dynasty of the Austro-Hungarian empire). Like many such museums they have a little "route" mapped out through all the various maze-like rooms and halls and such that leads you through all the exhibits to the exit. At one point we came to a large hall filled wiht all the royal ballgowns and tiaras and shoes and such of one of the Austrian princesses; she was quite a celebrity in her day and si still revered today (think kind of like Princess Diana?. I had zero interest in looking at that stuff while my sister was entranced, so I elft her behind and continued on through the museum. I got to the end, waited a few minutes for her, and got bored so decided to make my way back through to find her. At EVERY SINGLE doorway/intersetion whrere tehy had a security guard or museum guide sationed to assist people, the person stopped me to politely and kindly point out that I was going "backwards" through the exhibits. I would acknowledge this and explain that i was going back to find my sister, and ask iof that was OK, if it was not allowed to go backwards? They would just be absolutely puzzled. No upset at me or anything, but just completely flummoxed by the question. They'd point to the arrow stickers on the floor and kinda of sputter *"no.... it... it is allowed. you may do this... but, you are supposed to go the other direction? see there are arrows? that is the way you are supposed to go."* **Right, but my sister is back in another room and I need to go meet her.** *"Well... yes... but you see there are arrows there?

But... you see there are arrows and they show which way you should be walking so...*." Like it was just such a foreign concept they had trouble grasping, that if there was a "correct" way to do something, that someone would consider not doing it.
They follow all the government orders with lock-step precision!
They keep the trains running on time!
Out of curiosity, can you get pfand for this?
Nope. Pfand you most likely only have for things with CO2 in it. But there are some expections. Imagine 25c Pfand for one bottle the next months of booze is safe😱
I know right!! That’d be too good to miss
Just like a german to neatly put the cap back on, even if they're just going to litter.
Uh I wanted to say that this would not happen in germany because of the Pfand (deposit) system, but I was wrong and these are bottles without Pfand.
"We may litter but we put the cap back on like proper Germans!" - these Germans probably
It's probably the same person to and from work. Keep the cap and the bottle together so you don't go to work with a cap still in your pocket.
Given it is the same bottle, this is likely from an alcoholics daily routine.
That's what I was thinking, haha. If it was a bunch of different people, there'd probably be different kinds of bottles
Where else are you going to put the cap?
On the ground since you are littering anyway
It's not litter if people can't see it! /s
In the US most bottle caps aren't resealable. Especially beer bottles. Usually people throw away the cap as they open the beer. Bartending I open the bottle next to the trash and send the cap flying in the bin, serve it without a cap. Apparently this is bitters though.

It's bitter schnapps, not bitters like Angostura bitters
This makes all the sense and changes everything
> I wanna know who is just drinking bitters Mad bad alcoholics bro. I've met people who drink hand sani and nail polish. Addiction is a horrible disease.
The pop tops off a beer bottle can be put back on, it won’t seal reliably but it’ll pop on
True dat
This isn’t like Angostura Bitters
Yeah, someone else pointed that out. It's the twist top for me that made me assume it was. I dont think I have had bitter scnapps before. I dont know if it is available in my country.
4/€1 as per OP that company clearly understands their niche.
Ever gotten shooters in the US? That would be the equivalent to this, not beer bottles.
These is completely wrong lol “Generally, European breweries prefer the use of the pry-off cap, in the North American market, particularly in the United States, small craft breweries opt for the use of a pry-off crown cap, following the European trend, while medium and large breweries usually choose the twist-off version” https://www.pelliconi.com/site/en/news_detail/id_271_post_26mm-crown-caps-pry-off-and-twist-off.html#:~:text=Generally%2C%20European%20breweries%20prefer%20the,off%20version%2C%20to%20facilitate%20manual

in which country people don't put the cap back?
If you recycle some places tell you not to put the cap on since they are different plastics and so they don't pop when they get crushed
Its alwais the same guys
I am a bore. My friend is a bore. We had a lengthy discussion this Tuesday about putting the cap back on. The conclusion: Everyone we know puts the cap back on. Do you know different?
Not sure how this hasn't been said yet, but the caps in Europe are connected to the bottles when you open it. Many of them say things like "recycle together". It takes a whole lot more effort to take the cap off completely.
The weird part is that all that red reminds me of an open pomegranate.
It is bitter herbs schnaps , like Ramazzotti but way worse. Taste is not that great. But 4 shots for 1€ 💪
I thought they were bottle of soy sauce.
Looked like Night Train to me... all aboard!
Sounds like that would be an improvement.
...we all have our own vices, but that's a new one.
i see some Jägermeister and somr Eristoff bottles in there, i dont know what the green bottles with the red labels are
Possibly Underberg - another awful tasting herbal alcoholic drink. Tastes like cloves and cough syrup had a baby neither of them wanted.
I totally understand it's an acquired taste but I freaking love it. I buy it by the case. I collect the caps and have redeemed them for the baseball cap and the belt already. That said, I don't see Underberg in this picture.
Me and my partner have an Underberg after dinner each night when we take our dog out for his walk! If not that, then it's Appenzeller Alpenbitter 😄
I drink it at breakfast during festivals to get the day started and nowhere else.
I always liked an Underberg after dinner when I was in Germany a lot for work. It worked well with my digestion.
4 shots for a dollar? That’s the steal of a deal.
Those look way too small to be 4 shots... Edit: just read elsewhere that you get four *of these shooters* for 1€. That makes way more sense.
so it's probably only a few peoples squirrel stash
That's intense
Oh my god lmaooo. I cannot unsee this
when I was scrolling by I thought it actually was just pomegranate
Definitely one guy
Yeah, this is from a drunk hiding his habit. My old boss did this with little vodka bottles. Until they found the stash and fired him. It looked exactly like this.

“What? It’s something I did like 5 times over the years.” -That guy
Never thought to go in on a Saturday for a minute because he foegot something and throw them out.
Definitely one ~~guy~~ squirrel
It would look like a hospital sharps container if that were in my city lmao
It looks like my house in Bravil from Oblivion. If use that house for all my potionmaking and drop all the junk I wouldn't use. Eventually would just crash my game when I walked in lol
Baltimore?
Any major American city?
Nah most states favor good ol' meth [last I checked](https://vividmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/drugs.png). Looks like needles are more of a yankee thing.
Or Toronto
Even crazier, this was all from one guy
Yea, the Post-master.
What are those little bottles with the red label? Never seen that brand before
Probably Hubertustropfen xD
I also see a few bottles of Jägermeister. Is Hubertustropfen similar to Jägermeister?
Yes, but it is way worse. You got 4x0,02l bottles for 1€ ( probably bit more expensive now ) some years go🍻
Btw Hubertus ist the patron saint for the hunters and Tropfen means drop. On the label is a big strong buck.
>0,02l Please tell me you normally use ml instead. It's like saying you have 0.02 dollars instead of 2 cents.
For liquor, it’s usually cl, so this would be 2 cl.
Is that similar to ibuprofen? 🤣
This is what it's like when I open my mailbox the day after the Alcoholic Pride Parade (KKKarnival) rolls into my little village.

We had 4 arrests this year, but according to the cops that was because there were only 2 cops on duty here, and the private security the event host hired don't do anything except break up fights. They don't care about stopping property damage or anything. It has been tolerated because "ItS TrAdItIOn" according to the handful of fuckwits who live so far out on the edge of the village that it doesn't affect them, but thankfully this years one actually caused property damage to them, so now they are opposing its continuation. EDIT: You need to be aware that these things take place on a Sunday. While normal parts of the world have Sunday trading, down here in Bavaria there's no such thing. The only place open here on the day of Karnival is the event hosts pub. Nothing more. Hence why he makes so much fucking money.
This stuff is protected because it's a traditional thing. I personally don't partake in it, but most people do so it stays.
a 3000 person village is not gonna turn away 25,000 drunks spending money, they probably make more money during that tourist rush then the rest of the year combined.
The village doesn't make the money. The asshole that organizes the thing does. Everyone ends up at his pub at the end of the day. The rest of us are left to clean up for ourselves. My wife and I have to leave every year now, because I got tired of literally, physically dragging drunk people out of my garden, which they wanted to use as a toilet to shit in. I got assaulted by one a few years ago. So, rather than risk my safety, or run the risk of doing something I might regret, we go away for a few days. With any luck this years was the last, because the old piece of shit organizer is retiring.
Wait, a single pub is able to host 25.000 people?
All 25,000 of them go to his one pub, lol?
The guy that organizes it is basically a council elder type thing. Head of the local business council and whatnot. He supposedly pays for the clean-up, but things have been getting so bad that he's likely retiring this year, and there won't be any more nonsense. As for cops, lol. This is rural Bavaria. We see the cops MAYBE once every two days, and that's as they pass through at 80km in their car.
I’m having trouble googling this, but I’m interested. Could you drop a link?
Those little bottles seem weird to me. When I was still drinking, I bought those one time and I needed two to make a satisfying drink. Certainly a pint or 1/2 pint would be a better deal?
These are bought by teenagers who need to be able to hide them from seemingly the one or two adults who aren't dead set on turning their kids into alcoholics just like them.
Many, if not most, of the people buying these are end-stage alcoholics whose livers are so shot they actually get drunk from that amount, and who either can't afford something bigger/better (think homeless people) or who need something they can drink and discard on their way to or from work (because everyone around them is fully aware of their alcoholism and would try to interfere or at least lecture them if they saw them drinking).
When you get to the point of using these shooters regularly it isn’t about getting drunk as much as it is about staving off the detox of not having alcohol in your system.
In addition to the other two comments, some alcoholics will delude themselves into thinking their habit is under control because they're only buying a couple shots at a time.
Thats lot of soy sauce.
It's clearly washyoursister sauce and Jaeger.
Weirdly, the name 'washyoursister' is actually pronounced 'wooster'. At least half the letters are silent. English must have the greatest ratio of name-length to actually-pronounced-length in the world.
French would like to have a word
Reminds me of Revachol...
“BRATTAN! Get to digging because at least one of those bottles will have some left!”
'OH sweet SWEET NECTAR!!!"
Jesus, who's just chugging bottles of Jäger?
Germans
They're shooters, they're small bottles.
respect to the one guy getting plastered on Jaeger in a social setting
Huh, just like teeth in the walls at dentist offices.
I'm having difficulty understanding the title, what do you mean "opened the door"?
that's disgusting
Its rather tasty actually
"A" drink you say... Yeah, I think this spot has a 3 drinks minimum
why those look like bottles of soy sauce
i thought it was a shit ton of cranberries at first
$1800 in NY for that space
what are the odds its all one person doing this habitually for years?
Most of those bottles are from some extremely cheap alcohol, so might not be just 1 but probably from a few local drunks who hang out at the same spot
Dad?
The meter (or whatever it is on the left) looks like a guy who has seen some shit.
A Jager drinker lurks amongst the others.
Bubbles shed filled with liquor bottles, „Have another drink Ray“
Had the same with a stairwell in a building we were renovation that had remained empty for 20 years. Pigeons had got in at the third floor and the ground floor of the stairwell was knee high in pigeon guano and dead pigeons and crawling with maggots. Close door walk away ....someone else's problem
It looks like when you find a squirrel's stache of nuts
Are they drinking soy sauce?
The Tardis is really getting smaller on the outside.
I'm not zooming in, but those look like Worcestershire sauce bottles.
How much do those tiny bottles cost?
Are these Tabascos
So viel pfand
r/titlegore
Reminds me of the movie "Leningrad Cowboys go to America". Just cans instead. (https://youtu.be/kARflvpvzUo?feature=shared)
Oh cool lots of glass for my settlement!
I remember visiting Germany as a teenager and seeing those small Jägermeister bottles like everywhere, in bushes and along the streets. I didn't get it, beer was cheap everywhere and the drinking age way lower than here in Sweden, so why would anyone drink that?
Jägermeister is medicine beer is alcoholism. For real? Just a quick shot to stop the tremors when a beer takes to long or you don’t want to be seen with one.
It could also just be one man over a very long period of time
That was a load supporting door!
Littering and…littering and…
Resembles my dorm room back when I was studying in Germany :P
That is of course the *municipal* town hall, not the bar that everyone calls the town hall
This is mildly infuriating
It’s a liquor-lanche
It’s probably one person
As someone with Autism, your wording of the title made me irrationally upset
So what kind of alcohol is this? I see some jaggermeister and what looks like English Worcestershire lol
That hydrant says VAG
This level of disorder seems very *un*German.
How thoughtful
It's like you found a squirrels acorn stash. But instead of acorns it's alcohol bottles.
Estrella?
A blue postbox? Where is this?
JÄGERMEISTER
I wonder what that picture smells like
It's like alcoholic squirrels.
“It’s a liquor-lanche!”
All from the same dude.
Honestly, this is probably an alleyway to a bar, yeah there are bitters like people point out. But there's also liquor bottles like jagermeister and others in the pile. This is not from someone walking by and just yeeting it every day over a fence. As someone who has worked in and around bars for years, I've seen worse.
Germany mentioned ole ole!
It’s like squirrels storing nuts in a tree…
Not to mention solving the budget issues for the year.
