I like to have an occasional beer.
3 - 4 years ago my kids decided I should build a new shed to keep their toys in. Demolished a few things and built them a 12x8.
We had an ice bucket thingo at the back door and started throwing my bottle tops in it.
Times have changed. I am now retired and since the first shed have built a shed at the new house, verandah at the old house, verandah at the new house, and still like having a beer.
have a guess at how many bottle tops I have thrown in the ice bucket during this time.
No prizes, just the satisfaction of being closest.
Will give it a week and then count them.

I think you'll be surprised at just how many there are. Me and the neighbours regularly have a beer or two at the back fence on a Sunday, and we also threw the caps into a bucket. One of the kids decided to count them one day, and we were shocked (and a little proud) at the number.

Not wanting to be irresponsible drinkers, we knocked up this Perspex box, and put a mark for every thousand so we could keep track of consumption  ;D



3 blokes having a couple of sundowners over about 8 years =



Hope that helps with the guessing game  ;D

I like to consider the positive side of things - for every bottle top I got a 10c refund on the recycle for the bottle.

Great idea. :cup:

Lets say 3.5 years = 1277 days
Being an average aussie male @ 12 stubbies a day on average
= 15,324 tops.

No less than that.
Went to the doctor a few years ago and he recommended no more than 2 beers a day, got a second opinion and he also said 2 beers a day, so checked again and the third doctor also said 2 beers a day. So I have since limited my drinking to all 3 recommendations - no more than 6 a day.
