And Australians, can't forget us drunks.Furburt said:
Ehh I don't like to drink out of plastic and I don't care about other people all that much so no.
If it's one thing I'm noticing it's that people who have never seen or experienced a glassing is against the hard plastic glasses while people who have been either cut or had a friend who's been a victim, is for them. Do we have to be a victim of something before caring if someone else can get hurt?
This isn't about keeping everything safe like chairs and pool cues, glass is especially dangerous and it's in the hands of drunks who don't know what they're doing. I'm against out right banning them but I don't see why on peak nights we can't just use plastic.

I swear to the almighty gods of the pete that if some fool dared to serve me my scotch in a plastic cup I'd burn the bar down. If people are breaking glasses or whatever and using them as weapons, arrest them and sentence them to the fullest extent of the law if you want, but we don't need to child-safe everything...especially for adults.
nah just nice long hard time for physical assaults, public drunkeness and responsible drinking times to be enforced, seriously drinking till 5 in the morning wtf!? And ok shift workers i'm not talking about closing pubs & clubs at 10:30 although personally I think society as a whole would win. I'm just proposing a card or something to be issued on the premises upon entry and then every drink purchased can be tallied and an allocated time on premises can be enforced. What is it with people thinking it's ok to be totally off your face in public anyway? Reason for oposing glass ban in total, they'll just find something else to use ie: pool ques, balls, cutlery ,furniture and furnishings ,lighting hard liquor etc etc. By the time the government finally finished legislating we'll all be living life like they do in gaol ,except it will be a prison of red tape and useless rules.
Yeah, I have to say, there's laws against glassing people, and while it'd be nice to take away the chance, I don't believe it really happens so much that it's an epidemic.
We really need to discover the underlying reason why people have got so violent and find it so easy to attack each other, and deal with that, instead of bringing in new laws to deal with the small issues at the far end of the problem.

It's sad that we don't trust eachother with glasses now...
Having said that, I work in a bar. And have had a guy fling glasses at me after I had asked him to leave...that was messy.

Yeah. Glasses are the source of all violence. In fact, there was not a single injury in the history of mankind until we invented glasses. We should treat all adults like children. Truly, we should have everyone paralyzed at birth so no one can ever hurt anyone else. Then we should consider having our tongues removed so that we can't hurt each other's feelings. Good idea.
Plastic glasses and such cost a lot more in the long run. Also as they're plastic people often do not care about there condition and they often get broken all the time.
They also lose there finish very quickly and become scuiffed which leads them to be replaced very quickly.
Basically plastic glasses are not cost effective in comparison

More barfights in ireland, so ban them there, but not in england, we lke our glass glasses thank you.
The worst fight I've seen in a bar involved a woman holding another women by the head and smashing her face repeatedly into the corner of a bench. Once we pulled the assailants friends aside and were able to get to the poor girl she more or less looked like blood-bloated chopped steak.
Point being, we can't make everything of rubber, so why take away our little luxuries because people can't handle themselves?
I hope that girl went away for a LONG time.

This problem is umusing to me. First I hear stories who were cut by glasses when someone has had too much to drink, then I hear that we should use glass insted of plastic because it's better for the environment. So I don't really care what happens, replacing glass with plastic isn't going to do much. They still have fists and plastic will still start a fight if you throw it a someone.
Hmm...I see now why your friend had mixed feelings. I really can't come to a concise decision..
Beer tastes horrible when drank from a plastic cup. I would never pay for a beer just to have the taste destroyed by plastic.
I admit that glass shards are very dangerous. But they can make glass which shatters without making shards. Wouldn`t this be better?
Even greater would be if bars took some resonsiblity, refused to give alcohol to already toasted people and arranged taxis home. Just as though.
We should not let a few bad apples ruin a good pint though
