If you make root beer, ginger beer, or some other drink that remains

drinks have a LOT of sugar, you get bottle bombs.

G'ma was impossible for some weeks after g'pa exploded the root beer in
the garage that summer in '65.... wasn't just that everything was
covered in goo, and the smell, it was the flies....
