	Vol.7, No 31, October 21, 1999
	Beer too costly Lawmakers in Britain are taking steps to reduce the amount of head given at local pubs. They're trying to limit the amount of foam beer barons can pour into a glass of golden nectar. Ken Hanson The Department of Trade and Industry is contemplating implementing a new ordinance that would limit beer foam to five percent per glass, according to the Wall Street Journal. The law's support comes from people who are sick of paying full price for a beer that is three-quarters full. How many times have we been short-poured at local bars?  We all have had to go back to the bar and beg for a little more booze in our adult beverages. The price of drinking at your favorite bar is astronomical considering the number of drinks that can come from your average liquor bottle. In my not-so-scientific research, it has been estimated that between 15  and 20 nicely flavored cocktails may be poured from an average bar bottle. Ken Hanson is the opinion editor for the Daily Forty-Niner.
