Best Answer

Using glass as a beverage container has more disadvantages than advantages. While glass is sturdy, it is also very easily breakable and is no longer allowed in many public places, such as stadiums, for this reason.

Only if glass is relatively pure can it be recycled. It requires almost as much energy to recycle as to make new glass (and that is a lot - the temperatures are quite high).
