We've long held the notion that mixing beer and liquor isn't all too wise. Whether or not the order has anything to do with it is a hotly debated topic, though with Highwave's Beer/Shot glass your options are wide open. The Beer/Shot holds its own against your standard tall glass with its 16 ounce capacity, good for a pint's worth of brew. Flip it over, however, to use it as a shot glass instead (yes, we're well aware that you probably saw this coming—if the pics didn't give it away, surely the name did).
The glasses are mouth blown out of borosilicate glass and, surprisingly, are both stackable and dishwasher safe (lucky, since they were going to end up in there either way). After you're done knocking back a few, Highwave suggests flipping the glass shot side up and dropping in a votive candle (or, presumably, a tealight) for some ambiance over supper.

So basically this has made drinking more complicated. Are you going to really put your lips to either end of that glass after it has been sitting on a grimy bar or table in any setting besides college frat party, even then your hitting the solo plastic cups. It would be a two step process just to get your drink if your trying to attempt a shot with a beer chaser. 1- order shot flip over. 2- wait for bartender to come back to order chaser. or scenario two order shot with beer chaser at the same time drink chaser promptly after shot... much quicker.
Dishwasher safe? That's all fine and dandy, except there's no way to put this in the dishwasher such that it's going to get completely clean AND not have a shot--or a pint, I suppose--of standing water in it when the cycle's complete.
