Americans are in the top 20 when it comes to alcohol consumptions. I was surprised. I thought all along that we are in the top 5 next only to some hardcore beer drinking European countries. Even Korea is two places ahead of us. We may not be the leaders in consumption but I would like to believe we are the leaders when it comes to using barware.

Barware can be defined as anything you can see in the bar that cannot be eaten or drank. This will include glasses, tumblers, shakers, mixers and even knives. Barware is not limited to bars only. People use it in restaurants as well as private homes. Most common barware are made from glass but good ones are made from crystals. Crystal barware are more durable.
