Pubs could soon offer drinkers two thirds of a pint if measures are changed after a consultation exercise. The National Weights and Measures Laboratory (NWML) is considering new food and drink measures to give consumers more choice. The NWML will look at introducing two thirds of a pint alongside current measures like half or full pints. The licensed trade had called for more choice when serv ing drinks, especially those with more alcohol, the NWML said. A third of a pint is already a legal measure, but it has fallen out of common usage. An NWML spokesman said on Thursday: "We are consulting over specific proposals from the pub and restaurant industries on the introduction of new measures for alcohol including a new imperial measure for draught beer and cider of two thirds of a pint."
