Some restaurants have replaced 16-ounce pint glasses with 14 ouncers -- a type of glassware one bartender called a "falsie." And customers are complaining that bartenders are increasingly putting less than 16 ounces of beer in a pint glass, filling up the extra space with foam.

Haven't the Germans already solved the problem of glass size and the amount of foam on beer by marking glasses with white lines?

the brits are obsessive about pint size and fullness. pints in britain are marked with a special seal indicating that they are manufactured to contain 20 imperial fluid ounces (568ml). beer inspectors (i kid you not) roam the country with rulers, ordering rounds and then measuring whether the head on the beer is disallowably large or not. the guy in this article who says that brewers want 1 1/2 inches (almost 4cm!) of foam is full of crap.
