Whiskey is alcahol and will evaporate but won't leave much of a residue. If it was mixed with opium not only would it likely be deadly but that is what would be in the bottom of your bottle. Like Jim said, they were most likely reused. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to buzzkutt033) Post #: 4
