Britain considering ban on glass pints
Is nothing sacred? Due to large numbers of people being injured by pint glasses, the British government is looking at plastic or possibly a plastic-coated option to prevent shattering, says the BBC. Lowering the Bar has more information along with some fun statistics of other things that seem to injure a lot of Brits. For instance, citing The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, “Almost 1000 cases [of injury] are recorded under the category ‘Cardigan sweater’.”
I’ll wear a plastic cardigan if I can keep my glass pint.
