I thought I'd never get to the bottom of this article. The major takeaways were certainly 'One person's eye was popping out', '50 pints in one minute', and 'Plastic is warm'. If this account of British drinking is to believed, there doesn't seem a need to keep beer colder for longer...

Gotta love the Brits. This is a good glass because you can hit some one over the head or face over and over again, and then get it refilled.

It gives new meaning to the term going out clubbing.

[87,000 alcohol-related glass attacks each year,] --- BAN GLASSES IN BRITISH PUBS NOW!! Their right to have drunken punch ups needs to be changed. Everything must change with the times. It's time once and for all for this culture of hostility to end. This is worse than America's gun problems!
Don't worry Brits. You still have your soccer riots to get out the frustration of living in such a bleak place with foreigners taking control of your country. What's that party you can vote in to keep your violent culture alive again? BNP or something like that? With plastic beer mugs maybe you can throw them farther at the ol footie games.

As if this is going to deter the tens of thousands of yobs and chavs and BNP goons who go to the pub looking for violence.

We should all acknowledge that, whatever else we whine about on JT, the lack of violence (and general good behaviour) on a night out is a major plus!

Agreed. Keep the lager louts and the thugs and chavs and legions of BNP losers in Britain. Anyone who would use a pint glass on his fellow man should also be denied a passport.

Sick. So, what happens to the millions of perfectly good glasses, then?

I often dreamt of visiting the UK and glassing a couple of the locals. I guess this new glass will mean that I have to cross the UK off my to visit list (lol).

Erm, yeah... of course.
That is a quite ridiculous statement. There have been all sorts of efforts to do this as long back as I can remember. Licensing laws were changed in 2003 and there is even some talk now of making alcohol more expensive. Its just difficult to change.

24 hours drinking laws removed the pressure, then, oh, but tripled admissions to hospital A&E departments? http://kurie.at.webry.info/200707/article_39.html

Are we going to be supplied fartproof pants, too?
Or is that going to upset the uberPC mod policy?

Too Late. British Thugs are everywhere. There isn't a country that isn't safe from them. I've known barkeeps here in Japan that have had problem with them. Why can't they behave like Americans do?
