The glass is covered in a clear, conducting material that can sense when there's no more High Life left. A radio coil in the base of the glass then sends an SOS (save our suds) to whomever is pouring, alerting them that it's Miller time again. No more hunting down a wayward server! A spokesman for about 500 British pubs said, however, that the idea wouldn't fly in the U.K. Britons, he said, like going to the bar for the next round.
