Good idea....I used to drink rum from the bottle a few years ago. Can't do so anymore :(

This lady knows how it is done!!

Students also said they thought the tall glasses held more, suggesting they were trying to compensate for size when pouring into the short, wide glasses.

Compensating for size..... of what?

"Meanwhile, pubs have started serving drinks in larger glasses and offering cheap promotions to encourage people to drink more.

Ya don't say.

WOW!! Where can I buy those glasses?

There's a pub in Germantown, WI (about 20 miles north of Milwaukee) that will serve beer in boots that size.

I've seen people have them and that's a ton of beer.
