I don't think it can be done.

I've heard that the best way to do this, is to start by tapping the bottle with the drill bit - like, break into the thickness, if you get me.
Then, you have to 'twizzle' the bit with your fingers, or a hand drill - takes ages, but then anything worthwhile takes ages ;)

I just had a thought...try masking off the 'target' area with masking tape first - this should reduce the amount of shock waves that travel through the glass.

Hope it works, because as I say...I aint never done it lol

If the above method does work, then let us all know, init lol

You gotta go realy slow(variablr speed drill) till you sorta etch or nick the glass. It will help to lube w/ soapy water

Practice makes perfect for drilling... Its the only way.

Waterproofing is much easier. Some clay, silicone, or hot glue will work, among many other things.
