It depends on the shape of the glass. If its round like a test tube you can use duct or elephant (sometimes know as heavy duty electrical tape) to tape around the area you want to drill. Then on the inside of the test tube you pad it tightly with cotton. Now all you got to do is use a drill (NOT A HAMMER DRILL) to drill through. 9 times out of ten this works but if you go too fast or use a blunt drillbit then then glass will break. If its flat glass then you are going to need a diamond drill bit - normally just buying a bong is cheaper than a diamond head drill.

If the first answer doesn't work for you:

Take a pencil with an eraser and chuck it in a drill with the eraser end out. Get some very fine sand (emphasis on fine), and some water. Put a little water on the glass and then a pinch of sand and put the eraser on top of the sand and start drilling SLOWLY, after a couple of minutes, more sand and water. Keep this up until you get your hole, or buy a glass drill, it looks like a very short arrow with no feathers.

Why not just buy a bong?
