I wouldn’t worry about the metal. What’s your plumbing made from? Mine’s copper pipes with various brass valves and bits. Brass = copper + zinc. Then think of all the copper that may be involved in brewing or distilling. Yeah, glass is nicer, but for the brief interval your booze is in there, I think you’re safe.

75 clams? Sorry, count me out. I’m not yet to the point where I can buy ridiculously overpriced junk just because.

I have run across a different version, red glass with an enclosing metal base over the glass at the bottom, several times.

At Roll Calls, we do shots out of spent 20mm shell casings collected from the drum after a trip to the range (M61A1 Vulcan)
I’d say it probably shortens my life every time I take a shot, but the Jeremiah Weed probably does more damage. That stuff is death in a bottle.
