and now plastic pints
Discussion
in Pubs It's bad enough to have to put up with drinking out of a plastic 'glass' when I go to an outdoor event but to get a plastic pint would be the final straw that stops me going to the pub altogether.

Just because some chavs & pikeys use them to throw at each other then it's time to stop everybody drinking out of them. Bye bye pub.
Typical of this government to tackle the effect rather than the cause.

Fair enough in town centre pubs that sell booze cheaply and encourage people to get pissed.
But not in my local. No way! A pint of lager in the wrong glass without a decent widget tastes st, let alone a plastic beaker.

You are forgetting nanny* knows better than you.
- nanny, in this case someone who just happens to make plastic 'glasses', it appears.
There is a couple of pubs that I go to that also have music venues.
Usually given plastic tumblers if you are in the music section, which is probably sensible as it is dark, packed (hopefully) and usually involves stairs.
Beer just does not taste the same though from a plastic tumbler.

....plastic glasses suck....I can just about put up with them at an open air festival but I would never go to a pub anywhere that served beer in plastic....
Here here!Having stabbed myself with a shard of plastic, i can tell you it fking hurts so I don't really see what this is going to acheive?
"Official figures show 5,500 people are attacked with glasses and bottles every year in England and Wales."......compared to how many millions drink in pubs thats not very high really is it?! I've never seen it happen even, though once when working in a club one was thrown at me by a punter (they missed by a long way and were promptly 'exited' in an unpleasant manner!)

If it's such a big problem have they banned drinking from bottles too? Not as far as I know.
They've not banned pint glasses either. But at a lot of places you get served plastic bottles.I usually drink bottles or spirits when I'm out but when I do get a drink in plastic it's not the same. I've been bottled round the head before and it's not that big a deal just don't serve people who look like scum
