This is going back a fair bit for me, as it's been a long, long, time since I had a pint in a brit boozer of any kind, but I remember (vaguely) the old straight fluted mug with parallel handle (we called it the "graveyard glass) which was vanishing in favour of the dimple pot in our area around the early 70's. The dimple pot was competing with the slightly tapered straight plain thin glass, which shared the bar with the bulged glass. As I recall, the "graveyarder" was much sought after, and the straight glass the next favourite. Mind you, I avoided the kind of place where you needed a defence system.

On the subject of games, for sheer alcoholic suicidal lunacy, I give you Drinking By Colours - A pint of lager with a shot of the first sticky brightly coloured liqueur at the left hand end of the shelf, then a second pint with a shot from the next bottle along and so on and on and on and throw that one over me thanks.........
