Pint Glass Beer Belt

In England the 'Round' system is used by most groups of drinkers when in Pubs or Clubs. This involves each person in the group buying drinks for the entire group in one go. Everyone gets a turn at buying all the drinks before the nights out. When it's your turn you 'Get the Round in'.

The round system's main shortcoming is the fact that the person whose round it is may have to carry around eight pints or so back from the bar for themselves and the rest of the group. At present this involves approximately three trips to the bar and back as few people can carry more than three pints at a time.

The Pint Glass Belt seeks to aleviate this problem. Quite simply, the belt consists of a piece of leather, long enough to fit around the body. Placed equidistantly apart on the belt are Pint Glass Hoops. Once the belt has been placed around the wearer and securely fastened, the drinker who is getting the round in simply fits all eight pints into each of the pint glass hoops. As his/her hands are free, he/she can carry three more pints using the hands. For those in extremely large rounds (i.e. 11 or more persons) a drinker with a particularly wide girth can wear a larger belt with up to fifteen pint glass hoops.

I would imagine that this belt could be adapted to carry glasses other than those of 1 pint in size, such as the Australian Schooner (0.75 pints), German Stein (1 litre) or bottled beer, but this would only be needed if the 'Round' system is in operation!
