Did some research and now I'm mad!

"As it turns out, the majority of the volume in a standard US pint glass is in the relatively small height in the top part of the glass. In fact, if a beer is poured to within about 1/2 inch from the top, 13% of the beer is GONE. If the beer is poured to about one inch from the top of the glass, an astonishing 25% of the beer is missing from your pint."
Lets say your local bar pours an american pint where 15% of the beer is missing due to headspace. Every 6.66 beers you drink you will have been missing 1 entire beer.

So technically.....you order 7 beers, and you've really only drank 6 beers. But you still pay for that 7.

As I work in a pub I can say it's different in Scotland (not to sure about England since it's different licensing laws) but pouring a pint to the top of the glass is actually illegal. There is meant to be 5% volume of head. I like a little head on my beer though and for £1.80 a pint I'm not to bothered about the money.
