Beer box handles and why they should be stronger.

    
 
That is shit, luckily nothing happened to my precious beer, but if it did, I would have probably gotten very angry and done nothing about it,  
 
 
I am not the angry letter type person, I just let it stew and fester until I get my revenge. 
 
If you are apart of the much hated FB then join the group I just created, Whenever I buy a box of beer, I am paranoid that the handle will break. 
Has it ever happened to you?

This is why I put my box of beer in a plastic bag when offered one. There is just too much at stake to risk relying on the handle built into the box. Too much risk.

Boo to this man, Boo I say,  
 
It's not that bad, I am not going for some nice Boutique Beers, sometimes a nice cold Heine, Summit, Pure will do the trick on a hot afternoon,

Carry box from bottom. Or drink all beers at once then throw box away.
 
SIMPLE.

Yep. I am always nervous when carrying a pack of beers by the handle. Especialy since the cardboard isn't totaly ridged and it bends a little bit under the weight. I usualy resort to holding it around my arm or from the bottom because I don't trust the handle. I mean I'll carry it up by the handle for small moves like from floor to fridge and so on but for walking back from the off-licence no way.

Just the thought of me buying a case of beer and the handle breaking is kinda hard to believe. 
 

 30 bottles of Tuborg
 30 bottles of Tuborg
 
 Or 30 bottles of Carlsberg
 Or 30 bottles of Carlsberg
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yeah, those things don't break easily.  
And if they did, well at least you have one out in the garage, right? 
If not, there's something else that neeeds to be discussed

That is why I hold my beer from the bottom with both hands, fuck those cheap handles.

This is why I always carry from the bottom. And buy larger quantities, so you get a proper box.

I understand the feeling, but I don't buy beer... and I'm sure if I did, or if I just ended up carrying one, I would carry it by the box itself, not the handle.

As has been said, always carry from the bottom, lest ye be in tears. I hate Heineken, but then again many would say I don't have the best taste in beer. I get cheap beer, always. My cheap beer of choice is always PBR.

Anything that comes in those crappy boxes should be carried by the bottom.
