Default getting ready to bottle

Has anyone else had to drink an obsessive amount of brew to free up bottles for more brew? because this is what my life has come to.

What a wonderful life it is...unless it is crappy beer you are forced to drink.

So far I have just been buying new bottles. $10 for a 12-pack of bombers is hard to argue with...

Sounds like you have exceeded your limit and need to build up your bottle supply. I know that means drinking more beer but at least when you are done you have more bottles!

Take a stroll through the neighborhood on recycle day, tons of free bottles in those plastic bins.

Well it's a brew that I made, a pale ale, so not so bad! I had 3 cases of bottles, but had to leave them in Louisiana due to lack of space in the car when I moved... also don't have a lot of money for more bottled beer. Building from the ground up, one brew at a time.
