We have two pint glasses from previous Cambridge Folk Festivals (I pay a deposit for them so I think I’m okay to take them home).

Our glasses are now very sensible, but then I’m old:

Still have several pint glasses that have come from real ale festivals. But now I go to wanky beer festivals they have been overtaken by smaller, wankier glasses.

We have a few pint glasses, one 1/2 pint job from a beer festival and several, what I like to refer to as, tumblers. We also have 5 small, plastic cups which my daughter uses so as not litter the house up with smashed glass.

tumblers, yes, this is what these glasses are called, I almost forgot!

I’ve taken to just keeping a couple of diet coke bottles filled with water in the fridge and restocking them as necessary. All cold water all the time, no need for glasses.

To answer your question, I reckon younger people are just greedier and lazier, so pint glasses suit them.

different glasses for different needs.

Exactly. Tumbler for a bit of water to take a tablet, pint glass for everything else.

don’t use shot glasses as much these days tbh… guessing that is definitely an age thing.

My glasses fall into 3 categories

  1. Wine
  2. Nuttella (as in they are recycled nuttella jars, used mainly for fruit juice)
  3. Pint

you drink out of a nutella jar…?

We have a couple, too.

Isn’t it just youthful kleptomania? I had a friend at uni who’s entire kitchen was just full of stolen beer glasses. He also had loads of stolen ash trays and smelly old bar towels.

the small ones - they are supposed to be used as glasses when you finish the jar

Those glasses are my favourite! I love that shape! I’m not sure why, but I do.
