The day I'm forced to buy half a litre of beer at the bar is the day I give up drinking. For pity's sake, don't ever let that happen.....

Believe me Ken you get used to it, but you don't ask for a half litre just ask for a big Beer. As to the situation with the glasses, plastic are a waste of time, they also break & cause cuts & those that stay whole after a few festivals/events they're so scratched you have to chuck them away.
The Glasses will be fine if they have these laminated ones, they can even keep the same shapes & sizes it's no big deal, the only difference I think will be that they're a little heavier & thicker, but that isn't such a bad thing either as the thicker they are the longer your Pint will stay cool, so it's swings & roundabouts really.
