Unbreakable Polycarbonate Pint Glasses and rigid Polystrene Reusable Pint Tumblers are now a common feature in clubs and pubs up and down the United Kingdom, increasingly so since the smoking ban. As people who smoke are made to go outside to feed their habit - taking their Pint Glasses with them - so we have seen a rise in the number of "glassings" (sadly the word "Glass" is now a verb in this country "to glass")

As a result of this upsurge in injuries more local authorities, public houses and police forces are demanding that unbreakable Polycarbonate Glasses are used after certain times of the day, usually in the evening after 7pm (it seems the availability of alcohol 24 hours a day in the UK hasn't changed our fighting habits too much)

Grants for such large changes to our drinking vessels has been provided by some councils to help some establishments in the change over, monies one imagines has been saved from a reduction in ambulance call outs and time spent in A&E.

There are two types of Plastic Tumblers which are now becoming commonplace, Polycarbonate glasses and Rigid Styrene tumblers.

The Polycarbonate material was first designed to be used for aero plane wind screens as planes needed a clear material tougher than glass as the windscreens regularly came into contact with birds. Polycarbonate is now most commonly used for Plastic cups and Police riot shields, the material looks just like glass and is lighter in weight than glass.

Unlike Polycarbonate Glasses Rigid styrene glasses will break but not easily so they could not be used as a weapon and are a cheap way of avoiding using glass.
