You love to entertain outdoors, but drinkware made of glass is not a good idea. Why? If someone drops that glass outside on the patio or near the pool, all those little pieces can scatter. Simple clean-up is not just the issue -- an unfound piece of glass can end up cutting a bare foot at a later date.
