I'm not normally a lager drinker and on those occasions that I cross over the great beer divide I tend to look for something other than a can (or draught) of chilled Australian piss. After what I saw on the side of this glass tonight I'd rather eat my own testicles than ever sully my mouth with this liquid from this receptacle. I don't give a monkey's shit how many units of alcohol might be in the beverage that the glass contains. I'll drink until I want to stop. I'm perfectly able to determine when to stop without being nannied by the glass, thank you very much.

I'm drinking now, a bottle of argy malbec to be precise - pint glasses are there to nanny you.
I've had this argument a few times in fact - why should there be one statutory measure for beer - if someone wants to sell a 'glass' of beer and another guy wants to buy it what's the problem?
I tend to get shouted down on this though.
I think its a great idea, the younglings will know which beer is likely to best get them pissed right up just by looking at the glass ! (well, the intellegent ones will).
As a Seppo/Yank, I'm amused by my aging friends and acquaintances that don't have a tipple when the day is done anymore. They take xanax or ambien or some such before going to bed to relax instead of a couple pints or glasses. Apparently, eating 5 pills before bed that are prescribed by a Medical Doctor is healthier for you than a couple pints or drinks quaffed.
Not sure who managed to come up with this "science". Perhaps one of those "hairshirt monks"? But it could be them because many monastics have been heavily involved in beer production as well as productions of wine and spirits...the mind boggles in our modern world at times.
I'm not much of a drinker anymore compared to my youth, but a few pints or a nice whisk(e)y now and again can be enjoyable. Gin and tonic is of course mandatory for African hunting trips for quinine purposes. Latin America, same. Doctor's Orders. Malarone tablets make me queasy and being queasy on a hunt is no fun.
Cheers
