I think the basic concept of the pub is outdated. In the past it was a place for the community to gather, but people don't do that as much anymore. On top, many people are drinking less and alcohol is cheaper in supermarkets. Pubs now have to be more varied and offer more. Especially I don't think there is the market for the number of pubs in previous generations.Pubs: Are ball pools and games the future for boozers?

Very few people go out for a meal thinking "I'll have a 250ml glass of wine today." Most will think in number of glasses.Removing large wine measures cuts drinking by 7.6% in study

Yeh, I don't drink wine per Se but even thinking about it two glasses 250ml of red wine is an awful lot of alcohol in terms of units 6.5 units based on 13% ABV. Part of the culture and normalisation.
Guy I work with is a big Guinness fan and got one - said it's just a novelty, no different to just tipping the can fully upside down
