"Glassing"

How's this for Health Promotion?
From The Associated Press:
British Toast New Shatterproof Pint Glass
Half of all violent assaults in Britain are alcohol-related and drinkers are known to smash glasses and use them as weapons. British leaders say the country will save billions in health care costs by coming up with a glass that doesn't double as a lethal weapon.
Reminds me of the "British coal-gas story" in decreasing suicide.
(Although that was accidental).
Will they clink like real glass?

Some choice quotes:
"Glass feels good in the hand, it feels cold. Plastic is warm."
".... plastic glasses are an insult to beer drinkers everywhere ... "
