Oregon lawmakers propose law requiring 'honest pint' of beer

SALEM, Ore. -- Some Oregon legislators want the state to help ensure that Oregon's beer drinkers who order a pint get the full 16 ounces during these tough economic times.

The "Honest Pint Act" is aimed at the practice of selling "pints" of beer in glasses, sometimes with thick bottoms, that can't hold the full liquid measure of a pint.

The bill, which got a hearing Friday, would have state health inspectors on their regular rounds inspecting beer glasses for capacity.

all beer glasses here in Oz (NSW at least - I think all states are the same on this though) are marked with the capacity - pubs are not allowed to sell beer in glasses that haven't been certified as holding what they say they do - it would be a gross national insult to not get how much beer you paid for here
