in Great Britain:
![](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00345/pint-385_345579a.jpg)
Quote : | "Time is being called on the traditional beer glass as the Home Office calls in experts to develop a safer pint pot. The move follows growing concern at the number and extent of injuries caused in violent incidents involving glassware each year.
Over the next four months a team of designers will produce a range of drinking vessels that are not only a safer pint glass but, crucially, find favour with the public.
Although there is confidence that the designers can produce a safer glass, the key problem is overcoming the drinkers’ attachment to the traditional pint glass. " |

This is pretty silly, but is it really something the Government needs to spend their time on? Combine this with the installation of CCTVs in private homes as well as throughout the city of London ( http://tinyurl.com/2nll2p / http://tinyurl.com/m9dzh8 ) and I question those who say it could never happen here.] 9/9/2009 3:53:09 PM

can we talk about the beer glass problem in this country? we need to adopt a larger glass so that we stop getting short pours, right now the option is either a beer that you spill as soon as you pick it up or a short pour. 9/9/2009 4:19:09 PM

Well, whenever you get really frustrated and pissed off with the US gov't you can just look at how bad it is in the UK, then laugh a little and feel better about where you live. 9/9/2009 4:38:25 PM
