Bloody Bloke, We Don't Serve Pints Here

How do you type in an English accent? Poor bloke's in her majesty's Kingdom have to drink less.
"(Reuters) - British pubgoers could soon ditch their traditional pint in favor of a "schooner," a smaller measure of beer used in Australia, under government changes announced on Tuesday.

At the moment, pubs and restaurants are limited to selling alcoholic drinks in certain measures, but the government wants to introduce a new range in response to changing trade practices and consumer tastes.

Instead of choosing between halves or pints, drinkers would also have the option of a schooner, the equivalent of two-thirds of a pint. Wine glasses would also see a change." Could the days of the British pint be numbered? | Reuters
How long before HHS changes drink sizes here?
