Todd_is_God Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 A schooner over a pint isn't the worst thing, as someone said earlier it means your drink is always fresher. Serve 2/3 of a pint for 2/3 of the cost and there isn't really anything to grumble about, other than having to go to the bar more often. Sell 2/3 of a pint for more than 2/3 of the cost of a pint and that's when it just becomes greed. Worth noting that 1/3 & 2/3 pint serving sizes are already legal in the UK, though you typically only see them in craft pubs or tap rooms where the ABV is often higher. If there was an organic demand for them pubs would likely already be selling them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know which pubs are selling you bottles of wine for around £7.50, but I wouldn't fancy drinking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mean the cost. A 750ml bottle of wine is 1.31 pints, two bottles are 2.62 pints. That’s less than three pints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Incredible how often people make jokes about drinking piss when rugby comes up, only for PTSD sufferers to confirm that it's all horribly true. Is there crossover between the rugby crowd and the armed forces? The stuff people have told me about their time in the army has been unreal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubs would just use this nonsense as an excuse to jack their prices. Woke pish.

I laugh – but he isn’t joking. “Pubs are on their knees. We’re losing two pubs a day. As if we hadn’t got enough to worry about, now they’re coming for our pints,” he says."

Your drink isn't flat/warm by the time you get to the bottom of it. There was a boozer in Partick that was open for a couple of years that did them, but they ripped the pish with the prices. Costs about $10 ( About 5 GBP )for a Schooner of mid-strength beer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
