[QUOTE=CubeManv2;17532212]how about one fucking cup. Then the customer says how full he wants it full half full quarter PROBLEMS SOLVED.[/QUOTE] A cup of alcohol? What?
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;17532212] half full [/QUOTE] Ah, but is the cup half empty?
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;17532212]how about one fucking cup. Then the customer says how full he wants it full half full quarter PROBLEMS SOLVED.[/QUOTE] Not very cost effective to have all pint glasses when some are only gonna be half filled [editline]05:06PM[/editline] [QUOTE=toxicpiano;17532201]Seems to be the same amount of people in the pubs where I live, the big wetherspoons in my local high street is always full (but then they are cheap as fuck) [/QUOTE] True, gotta love wetherspoons £5.80 for a pitcher, yes please
[QUOTE=Hezzy;17532147] I think the rationale behind it is that when you're out in a nightclub or whatever you don't want to get a pint because there's too much to hold without it spilling, and you don't want to get a half pint because it makes you look like a girl. So this is a comfortable compromise[/QUOTE] Still can't see myself ordering 2/3's of a pint on a night out, all you need to do is to down about a quarter of it and then there is no fear of spilling it. [QUOTE=SigmaLambda;17532119]no you big fat dummy, they don't have to serve 2/3 pints, it's just that they're allowed to now[/QUOTE] Majority of the pubs will do so because will charge more than 2/3 of the price of a pint making them money.
Most people won't bother ordering 2/3rds of a pint when they can have a whole one, but if a pub wants to try selling 2/3rds, I don't see what the big deal is. It's just another measurement. At the end of the day, who seriously buys 1/3rd of a pint at the moment - and most people don't go with halves either (although some do).
Why not ask for 2 third-pints instead? Am I missing something?

I don't get why anyone cares, this is just the government saying "Pubs, if you want you can serve 2/3 pints". They're not forcing pubs to do it, they're not getting rid of half or full pints, it's just another option.
[QUOTE=One Long Sausage;17531177]yay this shit isn't happening in scotland, suck it the rest of the uk[/QUOTE] That's alright, you all die at the age of 55 in Scotland. They should give you bigger glasses, sure would speed up the death process quicker.

And this is bad because?
Choice? CHOICE? ARRRGH I AM OUTRAGED
When I see things like this, regardless of the country, I have to wonder what it's like being the dude who got elected into a seat of legislation only to spend your career debating the merit of glass sizes. Hey I'm going to become a member of our fine government and do my best to make our country a better place for all who inhabit it! Yeah so here's your first job you get to argue over booze glasses. Fuck. [editline]12:46PM[/editline] Must suck to be that guy. [editline]12:46PM[/editline] Unless he really really likes beer then it would probably be pretty good.
Oh God, TWO THIRDS??? [editline]05:56PM[/editline] That's the worst number of all
How about they put little increment measures on the cups?
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;17532201] are you 12?[/QUOTE] I was a few years ago, why?
[QUOTE=SolidMoos;17533741]How about they put little increment measures on the cups?[/QUOTE] Why would we be drinking beer out of a cup?
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;17532184]Who really cares? Drinking slowly kills you anyway, and doesn't help you solve any problems. Except having sex with a hot chick. But you wouldn't remember it.[/QUOTE] Can I nominate this for worst post ever?
[QUOTE=SKuM;17535254]Can I nominate this for worst post ever?[/QUOTE] You can go right ahead and give him the award
Can I have my award now? I never got it.

"You mean you want two thirds?" "No no no, of course not, that's illegal! I just want.. one third.. and then.. another one third!"
