Given how the smart young thing who normally cuase trouble prefer to drink out of the bottle cos it makes them look hardtrendy, the material of the glasses that pubs have but increasingly don't use is irrelevant.

People who get glassed don't only get glassed with bottles.

Oh true, but given that there are so many bottles lying around in bars these days, if you want to cause damage you'll pick up the best weapon to hand. And given that a glass is a slicing weapon wheras a bottle is a stabber, you might actually increase the number of serious life-threatening body injuries instead of facial disfigurements.

So, changing the material in the "glass" probably won't reduce the problem that much. Plastic bottles will have to be supplied as well which won't be popular with the suppliers.

Personally I'd create a legal requirement taxation scheme to increase the hop rate in beer. Hops are a soporific, so the more they drink of high hop content beer, the more docile they become.

Good idea. Plastic bottles are being mooted too, I read.

That's a brilliant idea!  Send everyone dozing off and they'll all be back home in bed by 11pm.

So we've sorted the lager/beer.

Now what should we do with wine and spirits?
