But plastic is bad for the environment! Just ban the beer. That’s the root cause of the problem anyway.

“Organic chemistry advances of 50 years ago have long since made plastics just as hard as glass, and far more unbreakable.”

That’s not an issue. The government probably will mandate replacement of glass mugs with baggies. (Of course, you won’t be able to take your “leftovers” home.)

The worst part is we’re not far behind with the government wanting to control all aspects of your life. It’s just that Great Britain is a little more “advanced” than we are in achieving it.

Outside of the soft totalitarianism aspects of this bureaucratic hyper-regulation, is the complete misunderstanding of materials chemistry by exceedingly ignorant and obviously out of control “British Government.”

Organic chemistry advances of 50 years ago have long since made plastics just as hard as glass, and far more unbreakable.
