About 35% of Brits stole pub pint glasses in 2025, costing pubs £133M annually, despite it being illegal under the Theft Act 1968.
A 2026 report by Good Morning Britain, based on a Simple Business survey, found that about 35% of Brits admitted to taking a pint glass from a pub in the past year, resulting in an estimated 38 million stolen glasses and over £133 million in annual losses for pubs.
Though often seen as a harmless tradition, the act is legally theft under the Theft Act 1968, with repeat offenses potentially leading to bans, cautions, or up to seven years in prison.
Experts warn rising replacement costs may increase drink prices, while some suggest asking staff for a glass as a legal alternative.
The practice has sparked debate over tradition versus legality.
