Cathy Macdonald asks if a two-pint glass is a practical solution to overlong bar queues or something that will encourage binge drinking.

Cathy Macdonald asks: Is a two-pint glass a practical solution or does it encourage binge drinking?

Dundee University Students' Union has introduced glasses that hold two pints. The move, which will lead to bar staff pulling 1.136 litres of beer into a single glass, is designed to eliminate throngs of thirsty queuing students. Alcohol awareness group Drinkaware has hit out at the change, which they claim could lead to students "getting very drunk, very quickly" for the price of £4.50 per two-pint glass.
