A pint no less.
A bill in the Oregon House calls for honesty at the bar. It would
allow the Liquor Control Commission to issue decals to establishments
that meet the "honest pint" standard--by monitoring how much
beer a serving contains. "If someone advertises a pint, don't
you think you should get a pint?" says Representative Mike
Schaufler, a co-sponsor of the bill. Apparently this is a concern around
the world. According to The Oregonian, England and Germany measure the
amount of beer served with a line on the glass that allows everyone to
see just how much liquid, and how much head, one is getting.
