Draught beer must be sold in the UK: 1. In glasses calibrated to the brim. The liquid must be at least 95% of the measure. or 2. In glasses calibrated to marked lines or 3. Served in any glass but dispensed through a calibrated meter I live in the UK. I do not know the proportion of the three options, but the third option is extremely rare. If I notice the measure is not right, I almost always ask for a top up. I have always received the top up immediately, politely, and without question. http://www.telford.gov.uk/Living/Enforcement/BeerPints.htm http://www.dti.gov.uk/ccp/consultpdf/beer2.pdf
