As if we needed another incentive to drink beer.

The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter slices the tops off beer bottles, transforming your six-pack trash into a collection of unique drinking cups. It’s a great way to save keepsakes from your favorite brewery, and you’ll be doing the environment a solid by cutting down on waste.

The Kinkajou can also handle soda, wine and liquor bottles, with the exception of square bottles. No Jack Daniel’s glasses for you!

Watch the video above to see how this bad boy works. The three-step system seems quite doable, but Kinkajou creator Patrick Lehoux warns there’s a bit of a learning curve.

“The more bottles you cut, the better you get at it, and you start to get a feel for it. The success rate then starts to climb easily into the 95 percent range,” he writes on his site.

When you inevitably run out of room in your cabinet for new drinking glasses, you can always start turning your old beer bottles into eye-catching candles. Finally, a homemade gift your friends and family will actually like!

The standard kit costs $50, but the feeling of replacing your boring cups with custom glassware? Priceless.
