When was the last time you bought...

[MackemBob]

I don’t drink and drive. I don’t even risk putting.

 

[Slow joe]

Its rare that i buy a pint. Its class propping up an ale bar having a few halfs.

 

[becs]

I can't remember.

Why buy two halves instead of a pint?
Is it because the pint starts to go warm?

I can't remember.

Pissed?

Tried to buy a pint of one of the stone ipa's a couple of years ago in Cooper rose, actually it was when the winter Olympics was on, and they wouldn't do pints as it was 9 percent, so had to buy a half. Didn't stop the fucker letting me buy a load more expensive bottle of wine though which is 750 ml and stronger

Pissed?

Not me. I'm a good girl

 

[shepherd88]

Don't drive after a drink at all like, I packed in a canny few years ago.

Driving?

If you mean half a litre (cos places around here serve litre glasses) then, aye. One place in particular I almost always buy litres, so have to be careful that they understand I only want a half litre one if I'm running late for the next bus.

Good point, I forgot about the half pint freigners

And the full litre ones, anarl.

Yesterday. Ordered a beer in Berlin airport and the barman brought over a half. In my defence, it wasn’t intentional.

 

[PTR]

Can't recall, but I'm happy enough to do it if I've fell behind a bit and want to top my point up.

Or is a strong craft beer that isn't served in pints

2 different drinks.

 

[DoctorMick]

1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 are pretty standard servings in the craft beer bars there.

 

[Typhoonftm]

Pretty standard in Spain.

FFS. Op, actually ignore my last, I buy them every couple of days.

I just automatically though actual half's. Not sure little continental beers are a true half anyway, so I'm technically right.

 

[monkeytassle]

...a half of draught beer for yourself in a pub/bar?

Don't think I ever have in 35 years tbh. Canny few lads drinking them in the bar I'm in atm. Canny pricey like, one beer and I didn't even get a 5 pund note change from me tenner.

Every time I order my first 4 pints.

1 and a half pints barkeep. Half first pls. Neck that then on to the main course.

unless a bar was daft busy i dont like the litres. after the first one flys down i find they go warm and flat. the pint is just about right for ale but for lagers, our european brethrens 250ml/half is spot on for temp and fizz imo

 

[Aituk7]

I've never bought a half of any alcoholic drink. Still amazes me how small a half pint is though. Its like magic how they fit a half a pint in that little thing
