Why are pint glasses in Ireland designed to hold exactly one pint filled to the brim?

    The aesthetic beauty of a perfectly pulled pint of Guinness filling a pint glass right to the top, with the head curving slightly above it is a truly wonderful sight. Yes, a few amateur drinkers can't carry their pints without slopping them everywhere but that's a price worth paying.

    Because Irish people have low IQs and are ugly

    The posts with incorrect maths have more thanks than the posts with correct maths. This is the sort of thing that got Donald Trump elected.

    Perhaps in mainland Europe they use pint glasses.

    They mostly use 500ml glasses. Perhaps it's 500ml here as well....why don't you try putting the contents of a pint bottle (565ml or so) into a "pint" glass

    It's not 500ml here. I have some Guinness glasses that were given out during the 150 years celebrations. They're noticeably smaller than your standard pint glass and hold exactly one 500ml can.
