[Drinking] is it time to retire the pint?

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Pints never did Mark McGhee any harm.

It's shrinkflation... and will end up as 0.5 litres

The fact that Crodo's given the idea a thumbs-up may give an indication as to whether HT's being a little mischievous.

First the Mars bar, next the pint - reduce the size, charge the same price.

It's shrinkflation.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I actually think we should go in the other direction - make glass sizes BIGGER and in metric. Scrap the pint glass for 1 litre glass.

That's a public policy decision I can get behind

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Yes, yes it is. Pints are for girls. Bring it on.

I think most people know I am a progressive european who enjoys a metric measure with his craft beer.

In Lund there's an Austrian pub called Rauhrackel where people usually order a meter of beer.

Bloody continentals. What's wrong with a yard of ale?

 

[Questions]

I still don't understand the need for pubs or alcohol. Alcohol just seems to cause behavioural issues.

That’s probably why I enjoy it.

There is no need for pubs or alcohol. There is no need for most things. We could all spend our lives doing absolutely nothing.

Alcohol is good fun. It's a social lubricant. Socialising is really important - and this is why pubs are so important, especially in these incredibly lonely times with so few other third spaces.

In regards to behavioural issues - it really isn't an issue for a vast majority of drinkers.

Last year the pub near the Stoke ground was offering beer in a 2 pint glass...

Pubs serve as a vital third place. Somewhere to unwind, to socialise, to eat, to drink, to be merry.

Plenty of people can enjoy alcohol without abusing it.

Are you stalking me?

 

[jackalbion]

Don’t retire the pint, but perhaps add a 2/3 pint option? A half is too small but sometimes a pint is more than I want.

Anybody I drink with would get relentless abuse sadly for buying one still I'm afraid.

 

[birthofanorange]

Order a 'Sussex half' in a pint glass - sorted.

 

[chip]

That would be like buying grass in grammes. Instead of a Henry it would be 3.54 grammes. Utter nonsense that will result in illegal drink cartels supplying pints nephariously. Only organised crime will benefit. Is that reactionary enough?

30k ISH do just that every other week at the Amex

 

[studio150]

Yes get rid of the pint, and only sell beers and lagers in yard glasses, that should sort the drinkers from the rest

 

[WATFORD zero]

There was always a 2/3rds of a pint option when I was a kid. It was called 'stick a half in there' as you handed over a pint glass with half an inch of beer in it
