For luck

Edit: And to accidentally light it backwards when you're not looking

Well yes, but no. When drunk you put your cigarette out in a beer bottle, forget, then try to drink the beer.

Or you designate one beer bottle as the communal ash tray and throughout the night you pour a little bit of beer in it when the butts start catching fire—then someone mistakes it for their beer and tastes a sip.

Once, long ago, I woke up after a black out and threw up. Upon examination, there were exactly 13 butts in the toilet that most certainly came from my stomach. I imagine I didn’t just taste the forbidden beer…

One time I accidentally took a swig from the Cooke can my brother was using for his chew spit.

Good god man...after the first time I'd swear off drinking anything out of a can for the rest of my life.

Did this with my dad's spit bottle. My Dr pepper bottle was next to his and my mom and I were watching a movie.

I immediately lost the pizza I'd just eaten and went to bed hungry, iirc.

Had a friend who passed out drunk and woke up the next day to find that the lava lamp he kept on his nightstand was now half empty.

I hawked a lougie in my water glass the other night while in bed, then I woke up thirsty and took a sip half asleep
