I started by reading through Smugglers Cove and noting the most common glasses used in various drink recipes - coupes, footed pilsners, double old fashioned, and highballs. Then, I hit the thrift store for 8 to 10 of each of them. Maybe not the most enlightened way of going about things but most of the glasses were 50 cents and I had an additional 20 percent off coupon. :)

I saw no triples, of course, and in fact I am now thinking that most of the old fashioned glasses I found will hold no more than 10oz. So maybe the doubles aren't even as common as I thought in my neck of the woods.

You're hooked! But you're in good company here. Have fun with it. That's how I started too. And the thrifts are great places to buy glassware at awesome prices. Spend your money on the drink ingredients and make your own syrups and things. Life is good!
