Default can I use a growler for bottling?

I have a few growlers laying around and I was wondering if I could use them for bottling some of my beer after primary?

They're not designed to hold pressure, so there's a risk they'll break. I used growlers several times with no problems before I knew better - then one of my buddies picked up a growler he'd had stored under the kitchen table for a couple of months and found the bottom was no longer part of the growler and the beer had long since soaked into the floor. Use at own risk.

Thanks for the advice! I don't think I will use them.
