Expert: Philip Carlson Ph.D. (Cand.) - 9/30/2009
Question
I purchased blue plastic drinking glasses. The information on the glasses said not to pour alcohol (Vodka) in the glasses. Can I do this anyway? Will the alcohol simply change the color of the glass or would it be harmful to my health?
Answer
Without knowing specifically what type of plastic is glasses are made of, I would say that the reason for the no alcohol has more to do with destroying the glasses. However, there are some plastics which could react with the alcohol and produce harmful products. I would recommend following the instructions.
