Some bars serve beer in "shaker" glasses. They look just like pint glasses but have a thicker bottom. They only hold 14 oz max and usually only have about 12 oz in them.

I was able to work my way up to the idiot in the old pickup that was driving next to the same car in the left lane for 8 miles with about 100 cars behind him and tried to work past him but he won the asshole of the day award!
