New pint glasses are set to be introduced later this year in an effort to reduce 'booze fuelled attacks'. The radical new design uses new glass technology to create a drinking vessel that shatters like a car windscreen rather than smashing.
The design, supported by the Home Office, is one of a number of initiatives aimed at tackling alcohol related violence. Anti-alcohol charities have backed the proposal to discretely reduce the size of a pint to 500ml. "In that way" said a spokesperson "people could still drink the same number of pints but be 10% less drunk. It's a win-win situation really."

Given that the pint glass is as much a symbol of England as the cross of St George, and indeed, adorns your own masthead, I am not the slightest bit surprised the forces of evil wish to destroy it.
Nationalism may well be a bad thing, but a government that clearly despises the nation it is governing is worse.
Has it not occurred to anyone that containing less than a pint it will be consumed quicker?
Definitely a facepalm moment.....
The proposition to introduce different sized beer measures was mooted in Sept 09 and is supposed to be passed through parliament this spring.
