What are the odds that the bottle survived?
What are the odds the can survived?
Also is it true glass bottles of beer can't be brought out of mexico? |
they will both explode, for two reasons. firstly, water(the main component of beer or malt liquor) has a unique characteristic of its solid form being less dense than its liquid state (ice floats in water) as water freezes its volume increases. In a contained environment this could exert enough pressure on the vessel to breach it.
Secondly, as beer is a carbonated beverage (contains a significant amount of dissolved CO2) as the temperature of the solvent (beer) drops, the solubility of the CO2 decreases and more of the gas will come out of solution. This will drastically increase the pressure inside the can or bottle to the point where the can will rupture, glass will crack or bottle cap will lose its seal.
I am not aware of any law banning the transport of bottled beer across the Mexican border, but one may ask, why would you want to transport bottles of Mexican piss water outside of mexico...... unless you are prepping for an american frat boy toga party, but i think there are far cheaper forms of american shit swill available for that purpose...
