Don't listen JJ, I find drunkness is directly proportional to glass size. We should implement a club bylaw that states maximum allowable glass size for meetings shall be 2 Oz, glass size will be CHECKED AT THE DOOR!tony b wrote:Now you see why I ALWAYS take Fridays off work following a meeting!!
JJ - I don't think the shot glass will help much. Too many beers to sample, regardless of sample size.

There is the psychology of believing that since you're only drinking 1 oz, that you're not really consuming anything. So, you sample and sample and sample. Next thing that you know - oh my head!
Plus, almost everyone drinks out of sampling glasses at the meetings already.
People, if they bother counting numbers of samples consumed, forget to multiple them by the alcohol content - 1 sample of 10% RIS is not the same as a sample of 4.5% Irish Red.
It all comes down to personal responsibility. One ounce glass or pints, no one is pouring it down your throat but you!!

Actually, I find it works betternot because of the number of samples but rather the empty glass time between samples. I find this time to be pretty much a constant due to conversations and someone coming by with something to pour etc...
So at least for me it seems it takes just as long drinking a 6 oz sample versus a 2 oz sample, which equates to a large difference in volumes drank. This may just be me, as we all have unique tendencies,

I think Jeremy's right. I'm sure I remember reading that we tend to consume "by-the-glass" rather than "by-volume". This goes out the window with really huge glasses or really tiny glasses. But in general, someone with a three-oz glass will drink less than someone with a six-oz glass.
The same thing applies with plate size and food eaten.
